I should have whipped out the measuring tape before ordering but if I don't act spontaneously with large purchases, I'll never pull the trigger.

I got a 26" model, even though it's 720 rather than 1080 (though at that size, who can tell?), because even at that size, it looms over me a little more than I'm comfortable with. I'm trying to imagine these living rooms where a 50" television would actually looked like it belonged. Now what the hell am I going to do with a 46″ set in a 600-square-foot apartment???
