Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?

Graphic for determining the right size HDTV for your room

With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience.

If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get.

  • Minimum size = Viewing distance/3
  • Maximum size=Viewing distance/1.5

My wife and I bought this TV at Walmart for $548. It is our first HDTV. We looked at a lot of them in various stores. I did a considerable amount of research and we finally decided on this one. Thought about a 120HZ model but didn't want to spend the extra money. It fits our budget and we are very satisfied with the quality and functionality. Don't have a blu-ray player yet but have watched standard DVDs with component video connection and picture quality is very very good. Streamed a Netflix movie or two in from our PC via HDMI cable and have viewed a considerable amount of satellite and over-the-air programming for the last month or so. Both standard def and HD picture quality, very nice. The volume leveling function is not perfect but it does help quite a bit. Sound with built-in speakers is good. Menus are user friendly and easy to navigate. Overall we are very pleased and would recommend this product to others.

We got this TV a little over a month ago and are very happy with it. The TV is in a bright room (one wall is all windows) and the ambient light sensor work great; keeping the image viewable regardless of light levels in the room. There is virtually no reflection from the screen, even with the windows open. The sound is OK, considering the small built-in speakers. The high-gloss plastic shows the kids finger prints, but that's just an annoyance.

We use the HDMI-1 input for our media player and the NTSC connection for Cable TV. Both work great.

I ordered this TV after hours of reseaching the different brands of Flat Screen LCD (and plasma) TV's. I chose this one based on the excellent reviews that the professional reviewers gave it. Their main comment was that it was a good value for the price. It has a lot of options that you would expect on higher end TV's. It was very easy to hook up too. I'm a 5 foot lady whose husband was out of town when it was delivered. It wasn't too hard or heavy for me to unpack and hook up. Another good thing is that I have not had to use the instruction book at all yet. The buttons on the remote are easy to understand when trying to access different features of the TV.

One thing that seems small, but is something I really like is that when you hit the 'on' button, the Vizio logo changes from white to orange so you know the TV received the signal. It only takes a couple seconds for the screen to display, but you could actually turn it back off thinking you didn't hit the button right without that signal.

I picked up this TV the other night from Sam's Club. With their Labor Day sale, I got it for $498. What a deal!

Hook up was a breeze. It has component inputs that I could use to hook up my HD DirecTV receiver to, a Playstation 2 to the composite input, and soon a Blu-Ray player to one of the HDMI jacks.

So far the picture quality is great for HD and SD programming. The blacks are deep and the other colors are vibrant. I bought this expecting the picture to be like a budget TV, but was pleasantly surprised at how nice it looks. I didn't expect it to even come close to my $1500 Samsung (52" @ Costco).

Finally I really don't notice the 120hz difference. My Samsung is 120 and I've turned it off since it gives me a headache, but I don't see any difference in picture quality.

Hope this review helps...

I actually was saving up for a Sharp Aquos 55" LED Edgelit 1080P HDTV from here on amazon, but just busted on a random trip to walmart. I decided to just go for this TV and spend the extra money on a new PS3 Slim, and a couple blu-ray movies. This HDTV does not have the newer tech, like advanced refresh rates (60/120/240 hrz) or LED lighting versus flourescent bulb lighting in this one, but it DOES have what is considered by most now to be the standard for HDTV viewing, and that is 1)1080P full high-def resoultion, and 2) at least 42" in viewable size. Blu-Ray disc playback via Playstation 3 worked fine, but I have seen better 1080p images on slightly more expensive sets. This TV does a DECENT DVD-upscaling job via the Playstation 3, but again, I have seen better and can notice the difference right away. My buddy's 47" Samsung 1080p 120hz does a much more noticeable job of DVD upscaling, proving its the TV that does the job, not the component (in this case, Playstation 3). All in all, for the average user, these quibbles will not make too much of a difference, as I am leaning toward the videophile side, so my eye is already trained to spot these differences. Don't let this dissuade you, this is a great HDTV for the money and will satisfy most people looking for a decently-priced ticket into the HD world.
