Indeed it has. I have a "techy" book which explains in great detail why he ideal screen size is 9 inches! It's fair to say that times have moved on a little from the date of publication (1955 or thereabouts).

We currently have a 55 inch set in the living room which I love, but I do think there is one thing that is often overlooked, and that is the type of programme you mainly watch. If it tends to be movies, then a big screen is great, but if it's mainly programmes made for tv, then less so. For example, if watching a panel show, or the news, then on a big screen, the presenter or newsreader will often look bigger than real life, which just seems odd to me - who really wants to see a giant head in the corner of the living room .
