I haven't read the thread but i do like my TV. I like to watch sport mainly and programmes about nature. Other than that not interested. I have a cinema subscription and i like to watch movies on my own there as I have a small child and if i can get 2-3 hours away i'm winning.
My point is I could not have a TV smaller than 55inches today and it must be at the perfect height.
I went to a mates house at xmas and we were all stretching our necks. The issue was he has a small house and he decided to stick it above the fireplace. I told him he might as well rip it down as i'll never watch that TV again. I said it in a lovely way mind.
