And I'm fortunate in that I cannot see the 3d technology. So, I don't have to buy a new TV for the 3d craze. I had a wandering eye as a kid (amblyoplia)...which renders me incapable of seeing the 3 dimensional effect.
Stereo-Blind: People who can't see 3D
I think 3D is nothing special. If I had my old tv I wouldn't buy new one ...
Hey, i just moved my tv stand which was way to close to the wall (Means i can clean and get better cable management on the go) and it looks better having it closer. Wicked. About 6 to 7 feet away from it now. Better.
I have a 55" and it looks great. I'm a TV tech, and see them all, and the bigger TV gives you more of the "home theater" experience. Coupled with surround sound and a blue ray player, and you can really enjoy the Smurf movie

I have a 55" LED, but I prefer to watch everything on my 92" projector screen these days.
Showoff
I've been told that I'd need about a 40" one to fit in with my room and the sitting distance of us both, that's when we need to get a new TV, I'm still using an old CRT one which is 28"
I've got a 46" plasma. Great picture. It looked SO BIG when I first got it, but you'd be surprised how quickly you get used to it, and it no longer seems large at all.
They say you really need to get a 70" if you want the "wow factor" to last... I thought they were nuts, but I guess they are right.

I'm the same with my 58" - still impressive, yet it no longer has that "Wow, it's big" feeling. It's now 'adequate'.
At least with larger sizes they give you some versatility where you can sit. Some like to sit on top, others like to sit far away. I sit anywhere between 5-12 feet away; usually 7ft, because that's what's comfortable to me.
(As an added bonus I can also watch the TV 30ft+ away from outside the door whilst having a cigarette. A pipe dream with my old CRT :) )
