Back on topic, just a 40" TV for me, had it about 8 years now i suppose - still looks fab when streaming HD movies from the NAS through the PS3, so no need to upgrade to a "smart" TV yet.

Is a big telly a modern day status symbol?
It's the opposite. I can understand watching TV on a bigger screen is better, and those 4k huge screens are mesmerising, however i think bigger TVs are now more associated with benefit scum than actual wealth!!I must be of very low status, as I have never felt the urge to watch TV in the bath or shower

I've got my 50" living room TV mounted quite low down, so it looks quite unobtrusive, so much so that I've been asked if it is 40". I can raise it up as it is on an electric lift, but I mainly do that to get it out of view when I lower my projector screen (effectively 128" diagonal).
Otherwise we have a 32" in the kitchen, 39" in the conservatory, 32" in one guest bedroom and a 22" one in the other guest bedroom. We don't have one in our bedroom but the only time my OH watches TV in bed is when I'm away so she just uses her laptop to watch iPlayer. We couldn't find a suitable spot to put a TV without spoiling the looks of the room, or putting it in a stupid position that made it an odd angle to view, so we decided that we have enough TVs already...
The only things I tend to actually watch are F1 and Top Gear (haha), otherwise it's just films which I watch on the projector anyway.

I said before the biggest thing we have in the house is a 21" but I would love a huge screen.
The only thing that's holding me back (apart from money) is what would I watch?
The programs are crap at the moment, top gear is likely no more, Sherlock was good for 6 episodes, I could splash out and see an extra 20" of the British bake off, but my hears not in it.
Serious question am I missing something really good?

Wide screen? The only thing that's holding me back (apart from money) is what would I watch?

Films are good. A bigger screen immerses the viewer more. But it's all preferance.

The older I get the less TV I watch. We have Radio 4 on most of the time, I watch Channel 4 news, Eastenders, Newsnight fairly regularly and that's about it. I used to enjoy TG too.The only thing that's holding me back (apart from money) is what would I watch?

Binned Sky recently as I realised the only we watched was repeats of Seinfeld
