What size screen do you use for gaming?

I'm using a 32" TV at the moment, but I'm slowly coming to the realisation that between the size of it and the fact it's only a bit further away from me than a monitor at a desk would be, I think I'm finding it hard to see the whole screen at once.

While they're on offer, I'm considering picking up a 23" Samsung, they're really tempting at the price they're at. It'll give me a chance to try out 3D and have a lower response than my current LG TV too.

My 2nd monitor is a 20" Samsung Syncmaster atm, it's a great monitor for what it is, but I want full HD so it's only really good for 2nd screen rather than a gaming/bluray one.

I'm specifically looking at this one: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-168-SA&groupid=17&catid=1425&subcat=

Looks like a good deal for £180 (after clamining VAT back, of course). Also the dead pixel guarantee looks good as my old monitor had a dead pixel (just one pink one in the corner) and it bugged me for years haha.

I've taken the plunge and ordered the Samsung S23A700D. I've just looked at a few reviews and peoples' opinions on here and if it's as good as people say, it's a bargain for £180.

I'm using a 32" TV atm and play all kinds of things, mostly LoL, Minecraft, BF3 and hopefully GW2 when it comes out.

I think screen size is a balance between a big screen and how close you sit, I'm sure I'm sat way too close to mine, I have to physically move my head to look between the sides of the screen.
