i currently use my 21" samsung lcd (215tw) for watching movies. It isn't so bad except that you have to be sitting right in front of it to enjoy the details. when i move i will be in a bigger room where i would like to be able to sit on my bed and watch. I was thinking.. one side of my bed will be against a wall where i can mount a 28" lcd on a swivel thing so i can swing it out right in front of me when i wanna watch movies. either that, or i buy something much bigger (40") and mount it on the wall further away. If i mount it closer i can save $ but not sure if i want to but not so sure it can beat a 40" even if it is much closer to me.

close instead of big?

well I would go with a bigger screen since it would be more of a multi-tasker. i personally wouldn't want a 30lb monitor hanging over me on a stand... 
if you did go the wall-mounting route you definitely should check for studs & measure beforehand, don't just mount it into drywall.

I'd estimate that sitting 5 feet away from a 40" monitor wouldn't be any better than sitting 2 feet away from a 24" monitor. There is a point where buying a bigger monitor just means pushing it further away. You need to find out what that point is for you.
