TVs aren’t just great for the living room; they’re ideal in the bedroom, too! Don’t you want to be able to enjoy your favourite shows cuddled up in bed? Or pop on the morning news while you’re getting ready for the day? Like choosing a TV for any other room in the house, there’s a lot to consider when it comes to picking the best one for you. Each room has its own requirements, including size and capabilities. Fortunately, we are here to help, so read on to explore our top tips for picking a TV for your bedroom.
What Size TV Is Best for the Bedroom?
While living rooms nationwide are enjoying immersive experiences with 70″ 4K TVs and larger, bedrooms are typically smaller spaces and will need a compact and space-saving model. Choosing a smaller size is the best option to stop your bedroom from feeling overcrowded, or worse, actually being an unpleasant and uncomfortable experience with eye strain from being either too close or too far away.
A 43-inch TV, or thereabouts, is an excellent size for bedrooms. This way, you get a decent-sized image you can see from your bed, but it’s light for wall mounting and easy to position in the room, offering a clear picture without overwhelming the space.
These models are often lightweight and easy to mount on the wall, which frees up valuable surface area for a dresser. Brands like Samsung have compact, thin TVs designed specifically for this, such as Samsung’s QLED TV ‘The Frame’, which blends seamlessly into your room’s décor, ensuring your bedroom remains a cosy, clutter-free sanctuary.
Don’t forget that a smaller TV can easily be repositioned or mounted in different locations to suit your changing needs. This flexibility makes compact TVs a great investment, especially if you plan to change your bedroom layout frequently.
Do Smaller Smart TVs Have Good Picture Quality?
Absolutely! Even though larger screens often get all the attention, smaller smart TVs can still deliver impressive picture quality. Whether it’s HD or 4K resolution, the technology behind these TVs ensures sharp images and vibrant colours, even on a smaller scale.
If you choose a 4K TV, you’re getting four times the pixel count of a standard HD TV, which means more detail, richer colours, and an overall crisp picture. This is especially noticeable with visually rich content like nature documentaries or action-packed movies, where every detail pops off the screen. It’s like having a mini home theatre right in your bedroom, no matter the size!
And you don’t have to break the bank to get a high-quality yet cheap 4K TV. Brands like Philips and Panasonic offer affordable options that still deliver stunning visuals, making them perfect for any bedroom, big or small. So, yes—smaller smart TVs offer great picture quality!
How to Enjoy Your Bedroom TV the Most
Once you’ve got your TV in the perfect spot, it’s time to ensure you’re getting the best viewing experience. Here are some key factors to consider to maximise your comfort and enjoyment:
Positioning at Eye Level: The best viewing angle comes from having your TV positioned at eye level when you’re sitting or lying in bed. This reduces strain on your neck and makes for a much more enjoyable viewing experience.
Consider Your Sleep Position: As well as vertical height, you need to think about how you most often lie in bed when watching TV. If you tend to watch while sitting up, a central placement will work best. However, if you prefer to lie on your side, slightly offsetting the TV can create a more comfortable angle.
Proximity to Lighting: Lighting plays a significant role in your TV viewing experience. Avoid placing your TV opposite bright windows or under direct lights, as this can create distracting glare on the screen. Instead, try placing your TV in a spot where it won’t reflect ambient light. You might also want to consider dimmable or soft lighting in the room, which will allow you to adjust the brightness for optimal viewing without straining your eyes in low light.
Cable Management: Nothing spoils the clean look of a bedroom like messy cables hanging down from your TV. Make use of cable management solutions such as clips or trunking to keep everything neatly tucked away. If you’ve wall-mounted your TV, running cables through the wall or hiding them with decorative covers can help keep the space sleek and stylish.
By considering these, you’ll not only make the most of your bedroom TV setup, but you’ll also ensure that every viewing session is as comfortable and enjoyable as possible, perfect for after a long day at work.
How to Get a TV in Your Bedroom?
So, you’ve picked out the perfect cheap smart TV for your bedroom, and now it’s time to decide where to put it. Depending on your preferences and the layout of your room, you’ll have plenty of choices. Here are some of our favourite ideas for getting a TV in your bedroom.
Wall Mounting: By securely attaching your TV to the wall, you free up surface area for other bedroom essentials, creating a more spacious and organised look. Plus, wall mounting often provides an eye-level viewing position, which prevents neck strain. If you’re watching TV from bed, consider a tilting mount, which allows you to adjust the angle of the screen for the perfect view, no matter where you’re lounging.
TV Stand: If wall mounting isn’t an option or you prefer more flexibility, placing your TV on a stand is a practical solution. A TV stand allows you to easily move or reposition the TV if needed, and it’s a simple choice if you already have a piece of furniture for this purpose. Just make sure the stand is sturdy enough to hold the TV securely. If you plan on watching from bed, ensure the stand is at the right height for comfortable viewing. A taller stand might be necessary to prevent you from craning your neck.
Place it on Furniture: Another option is to position the TV on top of existing furniture, such as a dresser or nightstand. This solution works well for those who want to make the most of limited space and avoid buying additional furniture. However, be cautious—make sure the furniture is sturdy enough to support the TV’s weight, and consider securing the TV to the wall for added stability. If you have accessories like a soundbar or streaming device, this setup can be an efficient way to keep everything neatly in one place.
