How big is too big?


There has to be some sort of ratio of room size to screen size. I was thinking about getting an 84" screen but realized that it would be WAY TO BIG for the room after drawing it on the wall with chalk. Have any of you put too large of a TV in a too small room, or the other way around?

It's not necessarily the size of the room that comes into play, it's the viewing distance that you have to worry about. The other thing is "physical size". Will it fit into the room without dominating it ? With that in mind, look for a TV that can be viewed at "off" angles and at various seating heights. Most bigscreens fail miserably at this test. I can watch my 55" from 18 foot away at a 90* angle in another room looking over my shoulder with NO problems or distortion whatsoever. This comes in handy when my girlfriend is watching something that i find "half interesting" and i'm playing on the puter. Like now : ) Sean
