"I really love the DLP picture, but I can't afford to go any bigger"
I think you have answered your question. My opinion; sizewise, it's a matter of preference and I think 43" is plenty big for 15ft. My worry is more on the reliability of these unit. If my experience is of any indication, it's not good. The projection lamp is suppose to last about 8000 hours and my lasted less than 3000. So get some extended warrenty if not too expensive (the lamp alone is about $200 if you were to replace it youself).
I just purchased the Samsung 43" DLP TV. But that was before I read the CNET suggestions on size for the room. I'll probably be seated about 15 feet from the TV, and now after reading the suggestions about size I am concerned that the 43" TV will not be big enough. I'm debating canceling delivery and buying a bigger projection TV. I really love the DLP picture, but I can't afford to go any bigger and now I'm concerned about the size. Does anyone have any suggestions?
THANKS!
