I have a 46" LED Samsung and I quite like the size of it. I bought it in 2011 when I lived in a house with a much smaller lounge and it was large without being over the top, whereas the house I'm in now has a considerably bigger lounge and yet it doesn't look lost. I'd say it's pretty much the sweet spot for size, but anything between 42" and 50" will likely also be pretty decent.
My parents have a 78" curved LED Samsung, however, and it's just f
king massive, no matter which room it's in. It is awesome, though.

king massive, no matter which room it's in. It is awesome, though. I have 37" in the front room, which is quite old but is quite heavy and sturdy. This is handy when my 2 year old likes to bang it for what ever reason.
The largest one is in the bedroom, which is 46". This was going to be the front room tv but I decided it may get damaged sitting on a stand downstairs so I put it on the wall upstairs.
The 37" will most likely get replaced with a 55" when it finally bites the dust..

We have a 28" ( or 32" ?) Panasonic CRT with a great low def picture. It probably scares burglars away.
No TV in the bedrooms, garage or bathroom, and a fairly small LCD TV/DVD in the dining room that is very rarely used.
We don't watch much TV, but do have the radio (4 or 6Music) on quite often.
Why do so many people have so many TVs???????!!! Is it just because you can? What do you watch?

. It's an ex-rental and a 1998 model but has a really good picture. When it breaks I'll replace it with summat fancy(er) Driver101 said:

This. I keep moving them round the house as I get bigger and thinner ones for the lounge.
Currently a 50 in the lounge, 42 I master bedroom, 40 in kitchen and spare bedroom, and a 37 in another spare. All with Apple TV which is just awesome for streaming stuff.

A mighty 10".
That's interesting. Waterproof?
I'm currently about to do a bathroom and was considering having a load of black glass tiles or similar but having a screen behind that would be invisible unless switched on....

Yes, Aquatek, iirc. Links to an amp and roof mounted speakers. I'm currently about to do a bathroom and was considering having a load of black glass tiles or similar but having a screen behind that would be invisible unless switched on....

Bit old now, they do far nicer jobbies now, built into mirrors, only visible when on.
I think 40" or thereabouts is about "right" for most large living rooms, anything bigger than your chimney breast/fireplace kind of dominates the room and looks out of place.
We retired our old 32" Tv to the bedroom and I was worried it would look too big, but it's not too bad. I also have a 22" TV / PC monitor in the dining room. Resisting putting a tv in my daughters' room - as kids we weren't allowed our own tv until we had passed our GCSEs!
