TV Too Big For Bedroom?

[Reaver85]

im going to buy a tv for my bedroom and thinking of getting a 40'' screen will it be too big as i only sit just over 6 foot away from it so will 40'' be ok or shall i get smaller my bedroom.the tv will be used mainly for ps3/movies/cable

Go for it, I have a 37" and I sit 3 to 5 feet away when playing xbox.

well thinking about it i usually sit between 4 and 6 depending on if im getting my arse kicked on cod if so i sit closer lol but gerneral viewing about 5/6 so u reckon it will be ok then?

 

[Toby]

I went from 19" to 37" and I would highly recommend.

I also get my arse kicked on COD.

heres a link to a guide for tv size and viewing distance for optimal viewing:

it depends how important clarity is to you although to be honest most bedrooms will be adequate for 32-42 inch tv's unless your in a box room

ok cheers that helped i should be ok with 40''

yea 40 should be good and tbh (dont know how old you are/live at home etc) but its a bonus if you move on/move out as you have a big enough TV to set up in a front room/lounge in your own place

had my big TV in my room for 2 years and when i moved out shifted it into the lounge in my new house

 

[Reaver85]

yeah i thought of that aswell no point buying a new tv when i move out.

won't be too big at all. i have a 50" in mine and it's awesome.

I bought a projector (was cheap, as in £50) and I am using that in the bedroom, it's a 69" screen on the wall, which is about 8foot away from the headboard.

The only problem I have is that it only projects a square screen, not widescreen.

I'd say 40" isn't too big.
