    DVDs tend not to look better over about 37 inches. And by the time you get to 50 inches, unless you're sitting further away, than 10 feet or so, you can notice the lack of detail in the picture.

    On the other hand, Blu rays look fantastic on a 50 inch, so it depends what you think you'll be watching in the future, and if you're going to be sitting a fair bit back from the TV, a 50 inch might be the way to go. It also depends on how sharp your eyesight is.

    I'd recommend, next time, you're in the store, to stand about as far back from the TV, as your couch will be from the TV.
    See if the picture looks good enough, and if a 42 inch is too small.
