Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?

HDTV Size chart
With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience.

If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get.

  • Minimum size = Viewing distance/3
  • Maximum size=Viewing distance/1.5

5 out of 5 stars Life-changing experience   August 28, 2010
Andreas Yankopolus (Atlanta, GA USA)
We bought this TV and the LG ANWF100 USB WiFi adapter after considerable research to replace a 20" CRT TV. The picture looks fantastic from the factory: Whites are bright white, not bluish or yellowish, blacks are inky, skin tones look natural, and the backlight is very even. Blu-Ray disks look incredible, to the point where watching movies at the theater is disappointing. The image is incredibly crisp and clean with no motion artifacts that we've ever noticed. The TV also does an admirable job upsampling standard-definition sources such as DVDs and cable TV. Setup shouldn't be problem for technically minded people. From unpacking the TV to browsing our Netflix on-demand queue over our home WiFi network took less than an hour. The menus and remote are all very intuitive to use. One of our favorite features is the USB port for watching movies on a thumb drive (format the drive as NTFS to overcome the 2 GB file size limit with FAT32). I can't comment on the sound since it's hooked into a high-end two-channel stereo system. But this brings up the only criticism of the TV: The only audio out is a headphone jack; it has no line-level outputs.


5 out of 5 stars Very happy with my first flat screen!   August 20, 2010

a friend of mine who works in tech suggested this as a top notch 32 inch TV> It's pretty easy to use and I don't have any complaints! I am super happy with this!


5 out of 5 stars Review for LG 32ld550   August 14, 2010

1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I'm a college student who had a budget of about 500 dollars to spend on TV. I always wanted a 32" samsung television because I have always heard great things about their quality and performance. I limited my search to just samsung. The best I could do was the Samsung LN32C350, which is a great tv if you are utilizing it just for just watching television and movies but I'm an avid gamer. The minute i popped in call of duty I realized that picture was beautiful but the motion blur and motion artifacting were to much to bare. On top of that a dead pixel appeared on the screen within 2 days of purchase so i returned it. This was a blessing in disguise because a few days later,I opened my search to more brands and I found this LG which was a little over my budget but had everything i was looking for:

Pros:(not in order)
1. 120hz which offers smooth motion and very little motion artifacting, you can also adjust the judder and motion blur to your liking
2. 1080p full HD
3. Netcast which is great addition that allows you to stream full Hd movies, youtube videos and your netflix instant queue
4. 2.4ms response time which is relatively good for gaming
5. Beautiful picture which should be a given nowadays
6. 24 month 0% financing
7. Numerous options in adjusting picture
8: 4 hdmi, 2 component, 2 usb ports, and 2 av

Cons:
1: Stand is kinda a pain to assemble
2: Standard definition tv could look a little better
3: not that energy efficient(but does have an energy saving mode)
4: Sound is average
5: Hard to notice unless your looking for it but when 120hz is enabled on high there is haloing effect around fast moving objects not a real concern because almost every 120hz lcd tv that i have seen has some sort of picture distortion such as this

Ive only had it a few days but it has impressed me so much that i need to tell everyone about it. This is the second LG tv that my family and I have purchased(47LH90) and so far they provide a quality product that can be compared to the top brands today. Amazon offers this for $579 which is more then $200 off its regular price. If your looking for the biggest bang for your buck, I believe that this is what you are looking for.

This picture quality is the worst. One has to be color blind to view the image, I wasted a half a day adjust it and with no luck. I was more than happy to return it,
