I'm thinking about a 52'' LCD or 42" LED full HD with 120 Hz refresh rate.
I will play from 3,5 feet away.

your biggest problem is going to be the very large pixel sizes on the HDTV, and the fact you will be sitting very close to the screen. a 52' lcd tv will have very large pixels, and at such a close viewing distance it will look blocky. SD and HD tv's have an "ideal viewing distance" that takes this into account, and you will normally be sitting at least 3 meters away from a HDTV that is 50'. an additional problem is that the 50' screen, and you intending to sit very close to it, is that the screen is a single large flat slab in front of you, and doesnt encircle you
a much better bet imho would be to use multiple monitors (with multiple gfx cards), and use 3 monitors to increase your peripheral vision (using large 1920 x 1200 flatscreens would be your best bet in bang per buck). another alternative would be a single projector with a curved screen (you can buy "small" curved 46' and larger projection screens)
