I know they do shrink over time, especially if taken from a small room to a bigger room. My 42" was always fine for a bedroom tv, in the living room not so much lol. I also seem to be sitting closer than most people. It's really only about 8.5' away from where my eyes would be on the couch to the tv stand. But yes, people saying immediately after getting a 60" they wish they would have gotten a 65" or bigger is troubling. All those cases they were further away than what my couch is though. I also can't stand to have the tv bezzle hang over the tv stand, I bought the tv stand in mind for a 55" but room to go to a 60"

I was going to get the 55" just because I thought hmm, in a couple years it will be a nice bedroom tv when I get a house. But I kept trying to convince myself 55" was big enough, so i'm going 60"

anyway i'm really excited for Thanksgiving. I wouldn't be surprised if Best Buy opens at 8pm Thanksgiving night this year. That will be a fun day!

Did you get the tv yet or are you waiting until BF? I picked up a 65vt60 and have it on the same stand as you. It sticks out about 2" on either side. I really enjoy sitting close so your area won't be an issue and could accommodate the 65"easily.
