My Cart - When you’re searching for a new TV, one of the most commonly used criteria to choose between different types of TVs is the size of the screen. Televisions used to have smaller screens; nowadays, you can purchase a TV with more than 70 inches in size, which is considered extra-large. This measure is taken diagonally, not side to side – as we explored in our previous blog.
Although it’s easier to just consider personal choice when choosing a new TV, you might want to think about other important factors that can help you make a good decision.
Size of Room
You should measure the distance from where you’ll be sitting to where you’re placing your TV, because the size of the room matters. The smaller it is, the closer you’ll be to the screen. This means that smaller screens should be used when there’s a short distance between you and the television, while a medium distance implies medium-sized screens, such as televisions with 40 or 42 inch screens. As for larger screens than these, such as a 50 inch TV, the ideal distance would be around 12 feet between you and the screen.
Besides preventing your eyes from getting tired, it also avoids having to angle the TV in order to watch it properly. Since the viewing angle determines how accurate the image will look to you, you might want to make sure you have the right screen size to fit in your room comfortably.
Weight of the TV
After knowing which room you want to place your TV, now you need to decide where exactly it’s going to go. For example, you might be planning on putting in on the wall or on a stand, so you need to know how much the TV weighs and compensate for it. A wall mount has to be strong enough to withstand the weight of the TV, and the same can be said for the stand. It stands to reason that the bigger the TV, the more it tends to weigh!
What Will You Use it For?
You should consider what you’re planning to do with the television. For example, if you’re looking to turn your living room into a home cinema, a larger screen might be the right choice for you. If you’re only going to use it to watch the news, well you might well be satisfied with a smaller TV.
However the case, you might want to think about the resolution. A high resolution screen, such as a 4K Ultra HD TV will make the image sharper – regardless of the screen size – which leads to a better viewing experience.
So, if you want to know which TV size you can accommodate in your home, you should consider everything from the size of your room and the reason for purchasing the TV in the first place to how much it weighs.
