I'm searching for what I call a bedroom TV. *Not too big, not too

An LCD between 24" and 32" perhaps. *Trouble is I'm looking for a

Well, it's not "too big" compared to a 60" TV.

However, too big or too small has more to do with the viewing range
than the actual physical size of the unit.

A 60" screen is "too big" for your average bedroom but "too small" for
your average football stadium.

When choosing an HD TV, the size should be based on how far from the
unit you will normally be while viewing it. Too big/too close means
reduced quality. Too small/too far means eye strain.

Too big/too close is far worse than too small/too far. Why spend big
bucks on a 55" screen just because it fits on a wall only to be stuck
with deminished quality because your bed is too close?

Use a calculator like this to help determine the right size:
