I live in a tiny, 1100 sq foot home. Even I have a wall for an 85 inch set. It's not THAT big.

Yeah, but huge TVs are a) hideous and b) a sign of being, frankly, pretty naff.

It's not just screen size. I wanted to replace my old 32" Samsung (wall hung) bedroom tv which had failed and which I couldn't get repaired.

I could buy a new 32" tvs, but whereas the old TV was about 40mm thick, thinnest new one I could find was 73mm, which just makes it protrude from the wall by a huge amount.

I now see that Samsung have started to produce a reasonably priced thin 32" tv, so I will need to change again.
