I think TV size matters more based on placement. A 42 was perfect for the size of the room and viewing distance but something above 50" would have overwhelming, resolution be damned.

I pretty much dont watch regular TV anymore.
DVDs /NBA league Pass and mostly PS3 gaming.
I really want something that is "pro-videogame" if there really is an option.
My boy is playing Madden on some 50+ screen. I dont need to go that big.
I dont need to watch the News on a big ass television.

I got a 37" Samsung LED thing about a year ago, it was under $500. LEDs are way better than LCDs at this point - they look better, they're lighter and use less electricity I think, and they come in larger sizes.
I stayed away from the internet-ready "smart tv" business, I have a PS3 that I use for Netflix and things like that, and it's also an excellent blu-ray player. Plus you can play video games on it.
Don't bother with 1080p unless you're buying something over 42", otherwise you won't notice the difference - and it only counts for stuff that's at 1080p, meaning only some blu-ray dvds and some HD programs on TV. And I wouldn't go over 42" unless you have the space for it and are going to sit several feet away. I find my eyes get tired very quickly if I'm sitting too close to one of those big-ass screens.

for my money nothing beats the sharp quattron. i have the 60" and run Fiber op cable and a ps3 for blu-ray and upconverting dvd's. i haven't seen anything on a household level perform as well as this.
I just did a lot of research and finally bought a Samsung un46es6003 and couldn't be happier. $697 for a 46" LED that's super slim and has a minimal bezel. Picture quality is fantastic. Looks great hung on the wall. No smart features that are slow and soon to be outdated, just a great screen. I bought a new Apple Tv on craigslist for $65 to take care of all the apps and netfilx. So happy with my purchases in hindsight. Prior to this I had a Sharp Aquos 37" LCD that lasted me quite well for 5-6 years.
