My Cart - When buying your TV, a lot of people are under the impression that the bigger, the better. But that’s not always the case. We all use our televisions for different things and have them in different rooms, so you’re naturally going to have to tailor your screen size to your lifestyle, as well as the size of your room and the surrounding furnishings.
We’ve already explored in close detail the specifications you might want to consider to ensure you get the best cinematic experience in a previous blog, but choosing the right size has many other different factors to be taken into consideration. At Electronic World we supply televisions in various screen sizes so you have a range of devices to choose from to suit your space and preferences.
Film Fanatic
If you figure yourself a fan of your films, then it’s likely that you watch all your movies in HD, with a large selection of Blu-Ray DVDs at your disposal. But in order to get the best out of the movie magic, you’ll want to invest in a TV with a large screen to recreate that cinematic experience.
50 inch televisions and larger would be ideal for getting the most out of high definition movies. If you want to create a home cinema space in your home, then you’ll want to invest in a larger screen to do your surround sound speakers justice! A larger TV also avoids you squinting at small details and quick movements, for example in a fast paced action sequence, and can also help you appreciate dramatic landscapes and vivid colours with a bigger picture.
Keen Gamers
Now choosing the right size for gaming requires a little more thought. Sure you want to get the feeling of really being in the game with a big picture, but connecting your console to a large television can also prevent you from being able to focus on specifics during game play and can be irritating when you’re trying to look at the whole picture at once. With these factors in consideration, a 42 inch screen might be the best size to choose for optimal graphics.
Another thing to think about is how far away you sit from your TV whilst playing – if you sit close to your TV set then a slightly smaller screen might be a better fit for your hobby. Playing with a split screen feature could also affect your choice, as too small a screen will cause you to squint at your half.
TVs for your Living Room
Aside from what you’re actually using your television for, which room you decide to have it in should be part of your decision process. Naturally, if your living room is spacious, and your furniture is pretty dispersed around the room, then you’re going to want to buy a TV with a larger screen accommodate for the distance between it and your sofa.
Most people use their living rooms as the television room, so if this is the focal point of your lounge then you will want a screen that best serves its purpose as an entertainment centre. A TV often acts as the centre of a living room, as main pieces of furniture tend to be arranged so that they’re pointing towards the screen to get the best viewing position so that everybody in the room has a good visual. A bigger screen can accommodate for a room filled with more people so that everyone can get the best visual experience possible.
TVs for your Bedroom
Having a TV in your bedroom tends to be more of a luxury than a vital piece of equipment, which is why screen size isn’t as important as say, the living room. Unless your bedroom is quite large, a smaller TV would be most suited to your room, as TVs in bedrooms are usually situated at the end of the bed, which in most cases shouldn’t be too far away to see properly.
A TV in a bedroom should merely act as extra, and shouldn’t really be the main focus of the room, as opposed to living rooms and family rooms which are often meant for entertainment. However, if you spend a lot of leisure time in your bedroom, which may be the case in house shares, you may want to invest in a television with a screen fitted to your preference, perhaps a 40-inch screen to watch programs with ease. When sharing a house, family rooms don’t serve as much of a purpose in comparison to a family home, so again, if you’re a fan of your movies and gaming, choose a TV screen that’s suited to your own personal usage.
Whether you want a television with the latest features, or one with a larger than life screen to watch the best movie epics, be sure to choose a screen suited to your lifestyle.
