I would say the bigger the better. Though for some reason women don't think a big screen is necessary.
" Oh no dear, 20" is quite big enough." This sounds like something from a Carry On film, it's not meant to be it's what they say in my experience.

32" more than adequate. My Toshiba Regza is quality. £300 from Amazon delivered.

how big is the room its likely to go in, or specifically how far from sofa to tv? theres a rule of thumb (dont remember it, look it up) about the optimum distance. if you have too big a TV and are too close you will see a pixalated immage and notice arftifacts from digitisation much more.

So this 37" tv is really a 42"

32" is a decent size which i have.Depends on the size of her room and her eyesight.

eyesight ok and sits about 4.5 metres away from telly

I'd say 32 inches is about right, Mine is and is great, any more is for bigger rooms really I'd say.

If her lounge is so big that she can sit 14 foot from her TV, she can afford to sort out her own telly or get the butler to do it

 

[The Oldman]

at 4.5 metres it's got to be a 37 if not a 40

This one is pretty cool. And big. You need a 33 storey building to hang it on. Viewable from a distance of 1.5km.

37inch at richer sounds, 1080p with freeview built in £299, leaves you £100 for the dvd player.
