No. I consider a 50″ the minimum size for a main viewing room TV. [/quote]
Yep, don’t go any smaller… I love my 50″ for most TV watching, but when we watch a lot of HD movies (especially those in 2.35:1) I start to want a 58″/60″ plasma.
Even 50″ at ~10-12ft like most apartment living rooms your eye can’t resolve all the detail of 1080p (you can barely resolve the full detail of 720p at the size/distance), so you certainly don’t want to go smaller.
Here’s a good chart that’s been around the ‘net that I added different distance markers to.

thats why I went 65″ at 11 feet. I don’t think any bigger would be much of a benefit, and HDTV of questionable quality is still ok on it.
People that come by to take a look, think its the perfect size. After almost a year, I would agree.
I have the 65″ V10 Panny and it has the THX mode. I’ve only used the THX calibration that comes with THX certified disks, but I just downloaded the AVS disk after seeing it on HDNation and I’m looking for some time to calibrate it some more. Overall, I find the THX mode pretty dang good and I just adjusted the brightness and sharpness settings. I prefer a sharpness set to 0 because it gives a natural look.
