When watching blu-ray or 1080p... Does size matter?

A bigger set will highlight the flaws, or high compression, in the source video. That's a fault of the source video, though. Whatever set you get it'll take a while. I went from a 32" to a 56", and took me couple weeks to get used to it all, and now I wouldn't want any other size.

Whatever you do, get a 1080p set so you can take full advantage of the PS3. I don't remember the exact details, but with a 720p set, and a 1080p game or movie, I think the PS3 currently brings the video down to 480i or p output, not 720p.

Going to Best Buy will not help you compare picture quality, unfortunately, unless it has a Magnolia section it's fine, but the other sets usually have a highly compressed sample video snet to the displays that look horrendous. I don't know why, they just do.
