How big is your living room? Mainly, how large is the wall it's going to be up against?
46" is not as small as you think. Funny thing, is at the stores, the 46" one looks so small, because of relative scale. But at home, it looks huge to me. I always do a double take when I see a 42-46" set and think, "oh, how cute, they make a smaller one now." And then I realize it's the same size as mine.
Perhaps laying out the a rectangle with blue painter's tape on the wall, can help you decide which size will work for you. That's what I ended up doing. It was difficult to visualize otherwise.
But, yeah. Bigger is better, if you can afford it. Well, unless the room is tiny.

I am still going to have to purchase a cabinet/stand for the new television and the one I am contemplating runs around $1,500. I also liked a Samsung DLP that I saw at Magnolia, it was also on sale for $2,400 but was only 46". I kind of have my sights set on a 50" model. |
