I mostly agree, but I think 40'' or 42'' is still reasonable for widescreen TVs. Not sure what kind of TV you have, but 32'' is/was a pretty common size for 4:3 SDTVs. When you take widescreen into account, you need about a 40'' widescreen to equal the height of a 32'' standard TV since TVs are measured on the diagonal. Upgrading from a 32'' SDTV to a 32'' HDTV will actually get you a smaller picture for non-widescreen content. So 40'' isn't all that huge by HDTV standards (though still on the bigger side of things).
