My Cart - When it comes to choosing a new TV you might be tempted to go for the largest model you can afford. That’s quite understandable and I’m sympathetic to the ‘bigger is better’ philosophy. However, it’s an unfortunate truth that some practical considerations have to be taken into account when it comes to massive TVs…
The latest Samsung model. A modest 82 inches.
The first thing you really need to think about before you go and splash some cash on an unnecessarily huge TV is how large is the room you’re planning on putting it in. For example, a sixty inch TV just isn’t going to look right in a small living room, so think about the size of your living room! Is it going to look ridiculous with a giant TV stuffed in the corner.
Of course, with so many cheap LCD TVs currently on the market it’s getting easier to get hold of a very large TV for a bargain price. However, you do have to consider the practicalities, as boring as that sounds. Although you might have to opt for a 40” TV when you really wanted a 62” due to the size of your home that doesn’t mean you can’t spend your spare change on something to compensate for that lost diameter. Naturally a 40” TV is going to be cheaper than 60” plus one, so spend that left over money on a Blu-ray player or brand new games console. Maybe that might help you to forget about the gigantic TV you could have had if it wasn’t for your tiny living room.
