What size TV do you need? Here are a few tips for picking the right size TV for any room, including ideal viewing distance and picture quality versus size.
Buying a new TV is often an exciting experience for the entire household . Best of all, thanks to major strides in resolution, upscaling, and backlighting, we can sit closer to our TVs than ever before — without that dreaded pixelation. Do keep in mind though that regardless of the brand you choose, it’s still important to buy an appropriately-sized TV for the room you’ll be watching it in.
How wide is the stand? The second size-related consideration is the television’s attached stand. If you aren’t going to mount your new TV on a wall, this will play a big part in how much space it takes up on your console table, and many newer TVs have feet at the far edges. You need to ensure that wherever you plan on placing the television is wide enough to accommodate the stand. You’ll want to be strict here, too.
This method isn’t perfect, of course. For example, if you are sitting 8 feet from the TV, the calculation calls for an 80-inch screen, and that’s just not realistic for most of us. Most living rooms will do best with at least a 50-inch screen size and, of course, taste and style are going to factor in heavily, as will the viewing angle.
Don’t confuse field of view with viewing angle, which shows how easy it is to see the TV from the side. Viewing angle depends on the panel type, but size can also help.
