I think I have posted this before.. I reccomended the sharp 32 http://www.amazon.com/Sharp-LC32GP3...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1200435351&sr=8-1
Mainly because bigger than that is gona mean you will have to sit very far back. I dont think you will be dissapointed in that. And console looks good on it as well.

personally I'd go with at least a 40" if you intend to do more than pc gaming, i.e. movie watching or console gaming. Another thing is that the 40-42" 1080p market is flooded with competitors, with their prices more or less similar to the 32" sharp. Samsung's cheapest 1080p model is 1200 at the moment and i'm willing to bet by next BF they will be either at or below 1k. Go as big as you can afford with the PQ that makes you go wow, otherwise you may have buyers regret down the road. Most people I know regret not buying bigger.
I just purchased a 42" philips 1080p for 1199 and its great.. I sit 2-2.5' back, typical computer use distance I would say and its not to big, anything bigger and probably would start getting to large for 2-3' away. Gaming on it is fantastic and windows desktop/text looks great also. I would not go less than 37" personally if you are going to do the hdtv 1080p thing for your pc, as someone mentioned before there are alot of 40-42" screens to look at. I would recommend the philips or a samsung (I almost purchased a 40" sony bravia instead of this philips, but was 250 more dollars and the image quality/colors were great on both screens so opted for the less expensive).
I purchased a 42" westinghouse first but returned it a couple days later, text was not as sharp as this one and the colors were not nearly as good. I guess the 37" westy is really good though from what I have read on these forums.

heh unfortunately for me the westy lasted just beyond the 30 days before the lockup issues starting coming out..that and at that point I was still impressed as it was 42" (i came from a 19"). So, I turned off the energy saver setting and have since given it to the wife as its great as a computer monitor.
The samsung 4066f that I picked up over BF, however, kills the westy 42TX in every way, better blacks, TV/movies have that pop (calibrated of course), and even the text is razor sharp, over VGA I might add. To top it off it was cheaper than the westy at 850.
