Honestly it is more personal preference than anything else.
At 2.5m I'd say nothing bigger than 55" - anything from 42" wold be fine.
Forget the gizmos and gadgets if you're not going to use them -
There are a bunch of cheap ones out there - but look at them first; The major difference I have noticed is in the uniformity of the lighting - cheaper sets tend to be less uniform, so you can see the difference in lighting over the screen - usually a bright corner or edge.
USB PVR functions come with some - that I find useful as I can stick a USB in the back of the telly and then pause live TV.
smart TV functions, wireless networking etc. - if you are not going to use them, then better buy something without them and save some $
Oh - check it is Full HD not just HD (Full means 1080p, Hd is 720)

Beware of TVs with freaking boot times. Little has made me happier about buying my cheapo TV than watching my friends massive beast take 30 seconds plus to turn on.

Needs to take a leaf out of Mrs. Maxxx's book - never turn off the TV!

Definitely go for a Colour one, the Black and Whites don't seem popular anymore - Probably something to do with Political Correctness.

What? Are you trying to make us believe they've got colour down there?

Of course we have. We watch all the latest Betamax Films in Colour.

I have a 51 inch Samsung smart TV. It has an amazing picture and can be hooked up to internet via hard line or wireless. Has all the USB/HDMI ports, etc...
Can hook up to your Google account if you like.

I don't have a tv, just a largish monitor and I get everything I need through the interweb.
Dr Who via iPlayer and the rest comes through Lovefilm or YouTube.

Everyone knows that the Scots invented everything[^] that the Chinese didn't.
Now it seems they invented sex[^] too.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Irn Bru, Stovies, Deep Fried Mars Bars are all missing from the list

That's because the Chinese invented them first.

That's because they've just received a fresh batch of fried Mars bars from China.

Hardly surprising.
I mean, whether you live in the Highlands or on the Glens, there's bugger all to do but look out at the heather (which is a particularly nasty plant), so you either turn inward and think great, inventive thoughts, or you turn outward to bonnie lasses.

Whereas here in Wales, we just turn inward and think great, inventive thoughts about bonnie lasses.

You typoed "Lassies".
Lasses don't herd sheep for you.

So who invented the bagpipes[^] then?

Wasn't that the Italians (or earlier versions thereof)?

Another species of the same type found in China is chuandongensis, and that was discovered by a man named Wang.
