I don't think, but, then again, that's my opinion. I have a 30", so I guess that's in the ball park

It's completely situational and opinion based, none of us are going to know b/c none of us have seen it with your current setup.  If it works for you than the answer is no it's not too small :)

Size doesn't matter, it's how you use it.

Yes, you'll see the difference between SDTV and a HDTV. As for size I use a 23" in my computer room and I have a 42" in my living room. Because I sit closer to the 23", there is no difference because i'm twice as close.

I'm going 40 or 46 because of 1080p.  I looked around and if you sit close enough to a 26" then you're fine, but I can't sit close to screens like that.

It's cool dude, depends on how far away you are. I wanted a 32'', but then i saw a 42'' Sammy DLP for $100 less than the 32'' :D Now i just need to get a 360, i know it's going to be sweet.

It depends on how close it would be confertable for you to sit from the TV. Though I find it really strange that I have a 40 incher and I feel like I'm sitting too far away if sit more than ~8ft away from the screen. Though I think it's just me...

Not everyones eyes are the same! It's all subjective. I'm blind if I don't wear my glasses :) So if I'm not wearing 'em it doesn't matter how close I sit! :P Go with how you think it looks dude. Don't try to make this technical. Bigger is usually better but it really is subjective. What constitutes big? I used to play my NES on a 13" tv. I always thought it was a hoot to hook it up to my parent's 25" console tv back in the day. Now 25" tv's are considered tiny!

"I broke the dam"....

lol i have a 26 inch also and I think its pretty good if you sit close. But ever since I mounted it on the wall, I find it uncomfortable. This would have never happened with a 40 inch...
