Is 49" a terribly small size (also spec thread £800max)

I keep reading on here that 55" is the minumum, always go bigger. I dont have a big budget and also the biggest i can fit in my lounge is 49". But looking around £800 is quite good for 49" tvs. My neighbour has a 75" cheap 1080p tv that is stupidly big for his lounge and the picture looks crap, like they are watching eastenders in minecraft blocky setting. It was very cheap at £300-£400 i think. Now i cant afford to up my budget or up my screen size so it is what it is.

The tv im looking at is the Sony Bravia KD49XG005 which is just under my budget on JL and Richer sounds. I would have got the Sony xf90 but cant seem to find them at 49". Is there any other tvs i should consider. TV will be mainly for Netflix,console gaming.

I currently have a 32" tv so i feel that i wont be disappointed by the 49" size and will think its huge.

If you're happy with the size it doesn't matter what other people think and coming from a 32" I expect you'll be delighted. I don't know where your TV will be located but I find 49" is a good size for corners now that bezels are so small.

It will be sat in the corner of the lounge on a corner unit.
