I also think that TV can be less than perfect with some material that is designed to be visually impactful. Especially silent or near silent scenes where the director intended for the scene alone to do its job. For me to sit back comfortably, say 12' from the screen, I like at least a 27" screen. A larger screen of 32" to 42" is even better for DVDs that are presented in "Widescreen" format. Too much of the screen size is lost due to that compression, perhaps as much as 25% on 4:3 sets and 12% on 16:9 sets. A 16:9 set that is at least 32" will make those films like the classic "Lawrence of Arabia" really enjoyable. Something that is meant to be visually stunning by its scope and expanse needs to be about the size of your head from your perspective or a bit wider than you from your viewing distance to really give you the impression that the space is larger than your actual environment. If not, and you can focus on the screen like a small object in the room, then it is easier to lose concentration and see just that.
