TV for bedroom

[rory182]

The TV point is directly opposite my bed, but the wall it's on is approx 3 metres from my 'headboard'

what size of TV is the smallest that'd be acceptable from 3 metres?

I've seen a 22" LG I like for £200 but think it'd be too small?

I've got a 23" Samsung LE23R (older model) but I sit like 2 feet away from it

 

[Coby.]

GF has a 22" Samsung which sits about 4' off the end of her bed and its an acceptable size BUT I'd probably be looking for a 26" or 32",

I've just got a 37" LG in my Room but its a bit further away than your talking about so I'd say 26" or 32" would be ideal.

lol that'll feel like an imax then.

I could run some co-axial cable through a built in wardrobe and put a new tv point in closer but can I be arsed?

cheers thats about the same scenario then around 4ft from base of bed.

Im thinking it's prob 3ft from base of bed, would bringing your gf's tv a foot closer make a big difference you reckon?

I can feel a scale drawing in CAD coming on at this rate lol

I sit about the same distance away from my tv point and I'm currently looking for a new tv, looking at circa 42' though!

In my eyes if you're buying a tv, you may aswell buy a proper one.

I definetily wouldn't go for a 22' if I were you, looks very small, 32' would be the perfect size ideally.

 

[Justin]

I have a 32" right at the bottom of my bed. Perfect size, any bigger would be too big

 

[rory182]

gonna get a 32" viera for the living room, maybe consider a 26 for the bedroom then. cheers it's all about a balance of cost and functionality.

haha my gf has already done me a 3d room to scale on archicad!


There's some fantastic deals around at the moment, richer sounds are currently selling a samsung 32' for £300, and bennets are doing a deal where they will beat that by £25, so you can get it for £275

I've a 32" in my small lounge which is what I'd guess is the same sort of distance away (about 4ft beyond the length of a bed...) and it's just right - 27" or 37" would be fine also, though.

If you'll be watching it lots and it's also for gaming, etc then I'd go 32 or 37, but if it's just for sticking on a film or a bit of Match of the Day when you go to bed, then 27 will be fine IMO.

 

[biojo]

28" at end of bed , thats fine, just depends on yer budget

I'm looking at a 32" Samsung for my bedroom when I've finished it. It's about the same distance from the end of the bed as yours. I was thinking 26" originally, but for a small amount more you can get 32" which IMO is a better size with a more varied range.

 

[koi]

I was going to go for a 26" but for the money you're as well just getting a 32", cheap as chips these days

Think I'd go for 32" as well TBH. At about the same distance, we have a 19", looks tiny.

 

[rory182]

ok might get a cheap 32" e.g. a bravia :clown: for the bedroom and get the viera for the living room. cheers all.

May even get a 37" for the living room, seems to me like the living room tv should be bigger lol

 

[The Hoff]

My Mrs has to put up with an optimistic 7.5" in our bedroom....Oh right, wrong thread. I'd go for 26" to be honest!

 

[Rich]

Just gone for 32" which is just under 3 meters away from the headboard and it seems ideal size wise.

 

[Keydogg]

My living room is 14ft long (roughly 4.3 metres) but my couch is about 10ft from the screen (3 metres) and my TV is 42". Personally I think you need a minimum of 32" of not more but its your choice like!

 

[McBunny]

id say 32

 

[McBunny]

im using a 15" one as it was free and i cant read the epg

 

[rory182]

cheers all, disappointing lack of headboard jokes tbh

 

[cli0 172]

IMO wouldnt go any smaller than 32"

 

[rory182]

decided to just get a 24" despite the advice lol

Went for a full 1080p Ilyami monitor with HDMI input though, bit of a bargain at £180 just need to add some decent speakers and sorted

 

[Leeshez]

Mine is a 14" on the wall about 5ft up and about 12 ft from the bed. I get neck and eye ache looking at it. Im knackared when watching writting but hey. I may get a bigger one. No use to you but

1080p on a 24'' lol, it's near on impossible to see the difference between 720p / 1080p on a 32''.

But for £180 sounds good.

 

[rory182]

oh aye forgot about that lol
