What size TV is right for me?
One TV size never fits all
How can you calculate what TV size is right for you? The first thing to remember is that when it comes to watching TV, bigger isn’t always better. There’s definitely a fine line between being immersed in what you’re viewing, and being overwhelmed by it.
Getting the right TV size for your room?
The TV size should reflect the size of the room it is going in. While you may want a larger TV for your lounge (or wherever you do most of your TV viewing), you’d probably want a smaller TV for the kitchen or study. Also, consider if your room could cater to a wall-mounted TV. It would create some extra viewing distance for you as well as save space.
