So we decided to save money on a replacement and just get an HD screen. It made sense to get a Full HD one rather than another in-between one, so we did upgrade. The funniest bit was the progress in LCD technology meant the new 32 inch screen was much smaller than the old one, simply because the screen frame was much smaller...and the unit much thinner too. So the added benefit was the living room felt bigger!

The replacement was a third of the £ of the original, and that's not inflation adjusted.
So you could probably have got a 40" tv which would have been little difference in size to your old 32" set
