RE: TV for a small bedroom (newbie questions)

Stick with a 40" set and buy the cheapest TV you an get. LED/LCD sets below the 55" range are essentially disposable pieces of crap, because no one is typically critically watching content on anything smaller. So save your money. If anything, use the extra cash in your budget to purchase an extended warranty because the cost to repair any of the crap that's less than 55" will be more than the value of the TV T the time it craps out on you, and it will.

And I doubt you'll see a difference between 60hz and 120hz on a 40" display from 7'. I don't think you have to concern yourself with the screen door effect either. So, 720 VS 1080 hardly matters.

Sony has a 49" 4K model that's now available. That's the one set on the market below 55" that actually matters. The rest is disposable crap.
