I think there is definitely a balance to be had with screen/room size. And unfortunately in the UK, with it's smaller buildings, it does tend to mean smaller screens. BUT a 40" panel actually takes up significantly less room than the old CRT/rear-projection monsters we would have been forced to use in the past. My mother is my litmus test for acceptable technological intrusion - and she recently enthusiastically adopted a 40" LCD panel info their terraced house living room having resisted anything larger than their old 24" CRT for many many years... And it fits their room beautifully and in many ways is less intrusive than the CRT. They couldn't go any larger, but 40" 1080 is more than capable of highlighting the significant benefits of HD material. If my mum can do it... laugh

Fortunately, our American cousins, and elsewhere, have much more space to play and will proportionally push demand for HD.
