@@Sana_H good man I'll give you a hint though depending if it's available Panasonic 60 at least....but buy the top end and it will still be going hard 20 years later . Maybe longer ...
Not necessarily
Very true.
Thank you
I just purchased the largest screen I could afford with quality and features I needed to future proof myself for 5-8 years. I left room in the budget for a soundbar surround system since TV are getting thinner and TV speakers are getting smaller. Went with a LG OLED 77C1 and Sonos Arc, dual Gen 3 subs, and Fives as rears.
Great set-up 📈
Cool setup mate! How far you sit away from the screen? I'm currently on the hunt for a new OLED TV, but can't decide between a 65 and a 77 inch model.
@@goodriddance86 My TV room is rectangular with an easy chair around 3 meters away, love seat along the opposite wall 3-4 meter range, and sofa around 5 meter away parallel to the 77C1 in the middle of the room. Every seat has an excellent view of the OLED screen because of its extremely wide viewing angles. I mounted my 77C1 on the wall with pan/tilt/rotate features. The OLED screen is like a large mirror and will reflect back every bit of light in the room and drowning out the OLED image a bit on that screen reflection spot (lamps, windows, doors, overhead lights, etc...). You can then adjust the screen to where you don't get those reflections with every sitting position and the OLED will still look 100% because of the wide viewing angle.
I would always go larger because some streaming movies are in letterbox format with blacked out strips top/bottom. The larger screen will feel more movie screen immersive if you have close sitting position like my easy chair.
My only gripe with "future proofing" is the risk of OLED burn in (even on newer, more resilient models). But with a 5-8 year horizon I wouldn't expect that to be too much of a problem, I usually aim for about 10yrs if I'm future proofing something lol
@@Valyssi I wouldn't go for an OLED if someone played video games more than watching TV/Streaming, keep the OLED on a few channels with banners/logos always present, or in a really bright room and you need to max out the OLED brightness. I went for a LG OLED 55C9 with features I might need down the road. I later added a soundbar a year later and took advantage of the eArc and my son took advantage of the HDMI 2.1 gaming features with his playstation.
Well, you have been a fantastic presenter, and I am going to reimagine the size of my TV in the space I have. Thank you.
I would've liked to have heard about bluetooth options and connectors that TVs have, but this was good.
Since the early 1970s I’ve always bought a mid-tier Sony and never had a complaint. After 15 years with my 43 inch Bravia I moved to a 55 inch Sony LED. Nothing special, but it works.
Wow I just learned more about tv size vs space in 7.5 min than I have in the last 3yrs.
55 inch for normal tv and tv series but for movies my Epson Eh tw 9300w with 97 inch canvas. Its all about size. I sit about 2,5 metres in front of both. But the immersion by the beamer is priceless.
I sit about 14 foot away
Used to have a 43inch upgraded to a 55inch Oled felt massive when 1st got it feels oaky now I wouldn’t go any bigger for me I remember when 32inch widescreen was considered a big tv 😂😂
I know right, I upgraded my 10 year old 40" LCD 1080p to a 55" OLED 4k and and it felt MASSIVE at first. While shopping I saw the viewing distances and I don't know if they were alway the same for recommendations but it feels like the viewing distances got smaller with the years, perhaps better resolutions is also why. I could go 65" technically I guess but that just feels too insanely big.
@@GadgetsGearCoffee
55 is the standard for the uk at moment but is rapidly increasing to 65 as standard
My mate at work went from 55 to 75 inch which I thought was mental
In the USA I can understand they go 65-75 as they generally have large living rooms
You must of noticed a massive difference going from 1080p to Oled I went from 4K to Oled which was a great improvement
I can see myself never buying anything else than Oled at moment until something else improves on it
@orris5177 I was looking to upgrade the last 2-3 years but every time I started my research it was overwhelming and I never knew which one to get. They all seem obsolete the moment you get it. I'm glad I waited then went fuck it, let's go for the more expensive option, I can afford it. The lower tiers you're making compromises at some point than the higher tier where you get almost everything. NO REGRETS.
This TV will easily last me the next 5 if not 10 years? unless my space gets much bigger. Also went from Samsung to LG, I've always just got Samsung and am more familiar with the brand so I was hesitant with LG only to find out LG is the OLED manufacturer for other manufacturers anyway and am very happy with the TV. Ends up Samsung is missing one of the video formats or something.
I instantly watched Wednesday on Netflix since I never checked the show out and it's 4K and often dark so it was really great. Then re-watched the Spiderverse movie and holy shiz, that was insane. It wasn't even a good high quality stream but it just popped!
For the space I'm in now I don't think I'd go bigger. I think technically I could do a 65" and I'm used to the 55" now it doesn't seem so big. I have a large 75" wide media unit so I could fit bigger. I went to someone's apartment (a 1 bedroom) the other day that had a 77" and my god, that was MASSIVE. I was like WTF is happening.
Then, I got a PS5 because of all the reviews I saw showcasing the high end specs that wouldn't necessarily be beneficial for watching movies (well the 120hz and low input lag and all) and showcasing Spiderman games lol so. It was an expensive month
@@jamiemorris5177 I left a massive reply that somehow didn't post properly -_-
I think TVs are getting too big but meh, who knows. America's bigger is better motto or maybe the tech really is that good. 55" was already big and is massive in my space, went to someone's house with a similar sized living room that had a 77" and that was insane. Overwhelming.
The moment I got my TV I watched 4k shows, re-watched Spiderverse and it was all so amazing. I'm in love with my entertainment set up now. The audio could be better but I live in a building/space where it doesn't make sense to have surround sound so I have a good stereo set up, good enough and with PS5 I plug in my headphones to the controller for quality sound.
I wasn't planning on the PS5 but with all the reviews they kept showing off the specs of the TV that shines with gaming and Spiderman looked cool so, I had to pick one up 😅 that was a very expensive month I'm slowly recovering from but absolutely no regrets. Love it so much.
I technically should be 1 ft closer to my TV but I don't feel the need, I'm sure I'd get used to it like I did going from 40->55", felt overwhelming at first then got used to it. I also have backlighting for the TV so it immerses me further.

Definitely can't go back to non OLED but this TV should easily last me another 10 years, I guess that would depend on the PS6 specs and how much I care to upgrade but I feel this TV should still be good for then if everything is 60 to 120fps standard. I kept looking into new TVs the last 2-3 years then got overwhelmed by the specs especially at lower tiers, you're compromising something then went fuck it, let's go all in and have no regrets.
A tip would be not to mount the TV way over your eye level, like in this video. It looks very uncomfortable for your neck and also provides a slightly distorted picture.
Right?!
What is with everyone mounting their TV above the fireplace or other weird locations? Your eye level should be about 60% up the screen and looking straight ahead or slightly down most of the time, not cranking your head up to the ceiling lol
@@CaedenV Exactly, It always surprises me when I see people mounting their tvs so high up. So unnatural.
I know people who like high tvs. But I think the tv above the fireplace is so commmon because you need to organize a room's seating to point towards the fireplace, and having a TV as well gives you limited options for placement when it is competing with the fireplace for attention.
A tilt or full motion mount fixes this issues, correct?
🎯
Worse thing to do is set your TV too high up on a wall. Looking up at the screen introduces fatigue. Buy a modern TV stand. They’re designed to have the TV at the right eye height.
I just bought 2 of this 48 inch 807 Philips tv right before the store was empty. 1 for upstairs play area, and 1 for my main living room. They are such a good deal, specially when tv prices are gonna shoot up because of the world economy.. new 808 model is around 50% more expensive in each inch segment here, without anything special new to offer, so buying these xx7 models before they sell out was a good deal. Was considering 65 inch for my main living room, but after several years with 55 inch tvs, and recently experiencing smaller tvs again and understanding more what I want from a tv for myself and my family, 48 inch is plenty. Didn’t know how much a good field of vision, and picture experience with content from 4k to 720/1080p meant to me before being on a cabin with a 32 inch tv… so much more relaxing to watch movies on, and awesome picture experience on lower resolution/less quality material. The “bigger is better” chase had really made me blind for quality viewing after I went up to 55 inch. So if anyone cares.. I recommend you to follow rtings and other optimal viewing distance data sheet. 😊
You spitting facts my dude.
Pixel density will probably be higher on a 48 inch and also standard definition picture will look much better on a smaller screen so a couple of advantages.
I just bought a 75" Hisense mini-LED (UK6) TV for $650. An absolute steal. 5-year ext. warranty was only $139 extra. TV prices have been trending DOWN for many years and that is not going to change
How are you getting on with the 807, saw one the other day in a store, looked stunning.
48-50” is perfect for our space yet many of the main manufacturers, particularly in LED ranges, are ignoring anything
@@Liverpool1ne its brilliant. I was a little sceptic at first since i have had tvs like Panasonic plasma, pioneer, LG oled etc. Always been looking for a tv with good contrast and black lvls with no bulls…. Philips have in my opinion had alot of negative reviews for years, always been behind. But with these oled panels, they have stepped up. Im just as happy with this Philips oled, as with LG oled that i have in my living room. 😊👍 Cant go wrong with this One.
biggest is the best
Thank you, 33 ajd haven't bought a new TV since about 2009
Size vs price vs features is always the issue! Doesn't look as bad today as it did a few years ago, but it still looks like there is a lot to consider.
My last TV I was looking for a max size of 48", curved, with QD tech, hdr 4K, and under $1200...that TV didn't exist lol. I could get 2-3 of the items on my wishlist, but nobody made a high end curved small affordable TV. The compromise was a Vizio m558-g2 which has served me well the last few years... But it has been a few years, and we need to replace another older TV, so it is time for my upgrade, and for my current pc monitor to become the play room TV for the kids lol.
My biggest complaint has been the size. It is just too small when sitting further away for games and movies, but too big to work comfortably next to as a computer monitor for work. But at the time, larger 65"+ TVs that had any quality or hdr were way beyond budget, so getting something that would work equally well for text and gaming at a distance wasn't a real option... But now! Holy cow! Big TVs are cheap now! I'm hoping for something in the 65-70" range with good quality for $1k or less this fall, and it looks like there will be lots of contenders!
Weirdly, I'm not all that excited about the newer display tech. My hdr 500 display can already get uncomfortably bright at times, so I am not worried about that. Oled isn't a real option because my use as a computer monitor would ruin the display, and lcd tech hasn't gotten that much better the last few years (outside of peak hdr brightness, which isn't a metric I want). I think what I am most excited about is support for 120hz at 4k 4:4:4, as well as support for low or variable input rates when the GPU is taxed.
It seems silly, but for larger displays higher frame rates make a world of difference! I mean, on a 12" laptop it isn't all that hard to follow where your mouse is at when it is only moving 1-2" per frame. But put that on a 55" display, and your cursor has moved 4-5", which feels choppy and less responsive even when it is the same exact performance as the little 4k laptop. Moving up to 120hz brings that back down to a more reasonable 1.5-2.5" per frame which is a help! And this translates to gaming too where on a small screen things are easy to focus on and track, but on the big screen things get too jumpy around the screen even at the same performance.
The other big consideration is 4k vs 8k. Obviously, there is no real 8k content out there, and little planned for the immediate future. And 8k without display scaling would mean buying a monster 100"+ display to use with lots of text and older software, and 8k gaming isn't really in the reach of today's GPUs. So I would be relying on outputting 4k and relying on fast upscqling on the TV side... And I'm not sure TVs are capable of that yet without a lot of added latency. But 8k also means smaller pixels, which generally means better light control, and better panel responsiveness... And a complaint I have always had about TVs vs good computer monitors is having to deal with more bloom and more shadowing artifacts when watching shows. Of course Oled solves all of this... But Oled isn't in the cards as I would burn it in too quickly. So I am curious to watch the space and see if the smaller pixels of 8k solve a lot of this in the 65-70" realm compared to their 4k counterparts. If it does, it may be worth waiting an extra year for 8k prices to drop a bit more. But then again, if the built in processors can't deal with 8k without stupid amounts of added latency in the upscale process, then it will be a moot point.
18 months ago, I upgraded my 58 inch IPS tv from an A-list manufacturer to a 65 inch OLED from the same brand. I was shocked as to how much better the picture quality was on that 65 inch OLED. I was worried about the OLEDs brightness level in my 18 by 21 feet moderately lit room, but once the set was in situe, those worries were completely dispelled. My one regret, I wish I had gone bigger.
So, I’ve recently purchased a 98 inch QLED from another manufacturer. The 65 inch OLED has been relegated to the bedroom. I sit approximately 142 inches from that 98 inch pannel which is just under 1.5 times the screen size, equal to being sat in the 3rd row of the cinema. In all honesty, the picture quality of the 65 inch OLED is superior to that of the 98 inch QLED, but not massively. If you weren’t able to compare them side by side, I doubt you’d notice. Any quality difference is over ridden by the sheer immersive attributes of that larger screen.
Your comment about audio reproduction on slimmer panels is relevant. The sound quality on that 98 inch screen is by far the best I’ve heard on any tv. Negates the need for a sound bar.
Yeah, I bought a 55” LG and took it back and got a 65” LG. The picture looks great! “My” only regret is that I should have gotten a 75” tv! I just measured and I sit 150” from the tv in my basement. So according to his measurements I should have gotten a 75” tv! But my 65” works…….at least for now 😎..😄😄
@@rocjackson5975 👍🍻
@@rocjackson5975 Yeah I sit 9' from my TV and I opted for a 65". It is the perfect size. Much bigger, I'd get headaches. My brother wanted a 60-65" TV for Christmas, and he said he sits 13' from the TV. I bought him a 75" TV instead (he doesn't know yet) and I'm sure he'll be very glad that I did. Also, when it comes to QLED, watch out for the backlight design. Having full-array backlights with 200+ local dimming zones will mean the QLED TV is ALMOST as HDR as OLED (but not quite). If you get an edge-lit QLED TV (cheaper) the blacks will not be black they will be GREY!
Have you ever owned a high end soundbar or wired home theater system?
@@ultimatefishingchampionship no, but I do own and take great pride in my 2 channel hifi system which has taken me 40 years to build. Yes, I could take the digital output from my 98 inch and connect it to my hifi. I know the difference in audio performance would be off the scale. But my wife detests my hifi, and although I have made that connection, if I were to use it, I’d have another big expense. Divorce!
For me a 55 inch TV is the right size for me in my bedroom. My BR is not too large just a normal apartment size. In my living room I have a 75 inch TV but I could be happy with a 65 inch TV. My seating distance in the living room is less than 7 feet and I can see everything on the screen very well. In my BR I sit about 5 feet away from the TV and I can see everything on the screen very clearly. I think I am setup very well and I'm happy with my results. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
According to recommended viewing ranges u have overshot on both by plenty! 😀 You are literally having that front row experience 😁🥴For ur LR a 43" would be the minimum, but 50-55" would probably work well. For ur BR a good ol' 32" would be okay, but 43" might be fine too.
Or maybe u just have bad eyesight, lol 🙈
I think 55 inch is just about right for most people and their living space.
I just bought a 65 inches smart TV 4k blk Friday online day after omg i hope it Fits in my stand or am going to have to buy a stand..
Perfect, you covered everything 👌🏻 great job thanks
65 inch is the perfect size not to big and not too small
Facts
65 is pretty big depending on your room size
But I mean... It depends on your situation.
Personally, yes, in my space 65-70" would also be about perfect. But my neighbor has a longer and more rectangular living room and is almost 2x as far away from the screen, and his 70" TV feels waaaay smaller than the 55" TV that I am using at home. It's all about perspective... Quite literally in this case.
75 would look horrible in my small square living room, 55 inch was the max for me
@@Obatala_Vibez bigger is better!!!
To do this type of video correctly you need to have TVs of each size next to eachother for the viewer to make a comparison. This is not a theoretical discussion with superlatives.
Thanks for the comment. We did try with many set-ups and angles and it doesn’t come across well onscreen so won’t give a true representation. The size we state is a starting point for casual viewing but most people into AV will probably go up one or possibly two sizes as we state in the video.
Comparing various screen sizes via a 3rd party screen such as your smart phone, tablet, laptop, desktop or even your your main tv, is futile. If any of those screens you are comparing are superior to the 3rd party screen you are using to view them? Then that will go unnoticed!
If budget is no constraint, bigger is always better or, buy as big with best pic quality as you can within the budget. That be always the principle. Sitting at 3m, I bought 75 inch for TV room. After couple months, I replaced it with a 85. Main uses are watching streaming services, football matches and console gaming. For TV movies, many now in letterbox format, so they will be actually much smaller than the screen size. For console gaming, nowadays AAA games are made like movies and very cinematic.
Excellent information! My sister and I were arguing because she wants me to get a bigger TV for my small bedroom. I am going to have her watch this video! Great advice!
His formula isn’t really good though. People tend to regret not getting a bigger size, not the other way around. You get used to the bigger size quite quickly. But you do you of course
I have a really small space to work with. I really don't need to have a large TV in my bedroom. I am trying to use my bedroom for meditation and sleeping. If I have a large screen in there, I know that I would be spending way too much time watching it.@@TheEchelon
Imagine letting a woman have any input on TV size
@@RebenzoClark the only input on size the should have is on which size cooking devices is needed!!
Women☕️
@@RebenzoClarkhe is a simp like me buuuut my gf lets me buy my shit she thinks is cool lol 😂
Mount it so your eyes are approx at the center of the screen. At first you will think it’s too low but over the next couple days you will appreciate its position. About 47”to the center is good.
P.S. Please stop rocking back and forth while filming, it’s making me dizzy.
Cinema front row hurrah!
Simple, good info to make a good decision.
size really does matter
when it comes to TV
Of course they do
Also I believe generally the best height for viewing is so your eyes line up with the centre of the screen, not including toddlers ofc 😂, good video cheers , I'm looking at getting Sony 7 or 8 the 9 will be too expensive though I think !
We live in an odd time in that a bigger TV many times is cheaper than smaller TV.. At least to the point of the 55" which is the new standard size.. Anything above that cost more.. but strangely sizes under that sometimes cost more too.. For example I used to have a 43" and wanted a 50" but that actually cost more money than the 55" which is the standard size for TV's these..
It depends on spec and brand bro
@@wazeeryusry2518well obviously... (A Lambo cost more than a Hyundai)... No saying or implying size is the only factor in tv prices..
@@carlosk8103 yes. Especially oled tv. It is very expensive here in my country
I guess on a 55" there is a good discount as it's very common and sold by the millions.
Bought a 55" 7 years ago, it's too small.
I ordered an 82" LG, hopefully, this will not become too small anytime soon 😅
Gamers stick to 40-50 max unless have big room
Multiplying the screen's diagonal measurement by 1.2 will give you the 40° viewing angle recommend by THX. Multiplying the screen size by 1.6 will give you the 30° angle recommended by the SMPTE for mixed use. 55" x 1.2 = 66", 55" x 1.6 = 88".
mixed use would include gaming? because from what I've read, most gamers do the opposite and go closer to the TV. I have a 55" and am at about 8ft for tv, movie, gaming
10€ reading spectacles are giving a 1,2x size multiplier for little money. Also if you want to look lower class, get a big TV, if you want to look upperclass, get a small TV (40" max). If you want to look spoiled, get a beamer and convert a room to home theater.
I previously got the 98" 4k Samsung Q80c. I sat 12 ft from it. Coming from a 77" LG GX it was a terrible mistake 😂. I immediately put it on ebay within 6 weeks for $4k. Once you go Oled you can't go back.
What is exactly was bad about the q80c. I have a QN90C it’s fantastic
How is the picture quality of new TV's? Are the pixels not huge on bigger screens?
Pixel size doesn't matter. Pixel density based on your anticipated viewing distance does.
Im sitting 2m away from the tv. Torn between the LG C3 55" oled vs samsumgs QN85C 65"...😬
What about A LED just the video wall? Small screen left and right and big ass screen in the middle oh one big screen adjust about to set up.
i am sitting 9feet away, should i choose the 65" or 77" sony a95l? i use to use 40" tvs as a montior with my pc sitting close for years then decided to buy a new alienware 34" ultrawide monitor and i like it its good. now im wanting a TV for my living room. my back wall where tv is going is 105 inches wide. i will also have to buy a new tv stand.
haha I'm in the exact same situation. Do you already chose a TV size?
@@goodriddance86 i chose the 77" sony a905l and its perfect im glad i didnt go with the 65"
I have 24 inch crt tv... it's enough for me😊
What about HEIGHT of TV placement? Just looking at the examples in this video shows a BIG difference in how high the TVs are placed so it seems that is JUST AS IMPORTANT as distance.....Is the best AT eye level or slightly above or below?
Ideally the center of the tv screen should be at eye level which is usually going to be about 42 inches above the floor, if you like to recline then having the tv slightly above eye level may be preferable since when reclined your eyes will be looking slightly up.
@@macewindu3305 Ok but Ive noticed VERY few TVs that are shown in these reviews and "distance" tutorials are anywhere near eye level when sitting. Neraly every one is at least 6-12+ inches above especially the dopes that place TV above a fireplace. This is why when building a new house NEVER build a fireplace on a TV wall.
Your eyes should be on the TV middle level
In general the top quarter of your tv should be at eye level. If you change positions, e..g. between sitting and lying down on a couch, you might want to lower your tv position. If you watch in a reclining position like in a bedroom you might want to position your tv higher.
People talking about the middle being at eye level are crazy. Eye level should be somewhere around the top 25-35% of the display so you are looking slightly down. If reclining, then your head will naturally tilt up a bit, so higher might be better in that case, but for active viewing of a movie or gaming, don't crane your neck up.
The best days of my working life were when I came home and played on my 84" screen from my HD projector. Anyone who says smaller is better is a dunce IMHO. Surfing the web in front of A 85" IS AMAZING. One day walls will be a functioning TV and I cant wait. Good luck to all
For gaming bad idea but otherwise fine
All depends on what you are doing. The bigger the display, the more distance things travel between frames, so things like image persistence becomes a larger and larger issue. Big TVs tend to suffer from persistence issues, so big fast moving things tend to smear, or look choppy. Projectors, especially of the dlp persuasion tend to flash an image, or give 4 HD flashes of an image to make a 4k image (pixel shift) which makes these weird temporal issues significantly less noticeable.
But then again... You are on a projector which will always be louder, have less contrast, use more power, and less color quality than even an average TV. I think most people would much rather have the brightness and contrast of a smaller TV, than the immersiveless of a truly large projector. No shame to projector owners (I've still got mine!), but unless you are doing a literal 16'x9' display or larger... I think that TVs have won the day for what is practical in most living spaces.
So im looking to put a TV at the foot of my queen sized bed. I'd prefer it to be 4k. What size should I get, and what kind of TV should it be?
I'd probably go with just a 32 or 43" with a VA panel. Basically some of the cheapest tellies there is. VA has amazing pic, but narrow viewing angles = perfect for BR.
@@MaximusAdonicus is it a smart tv? im a big movie guy
@@sourceow8795 Practically all tv's are smart these days. But I thought the BR tv was just for casual viewing... if u wanna actually watch movies on it, then I'd go with a 43" or bigger - depends entirely on ur room space and how big u wanna go.
Atleast 55" if you want it immersive and be watching movies, 50" even feels a bit underwhelming even when im very near to it
@@paulgonzales182950 is perfect if close. 55 way to big if close
Have 2 chairs.... 8 feet and 10 feet away which would be 48"-60" minimum. Currently have a 49" so I guess the upgrade would be 65" for me !
I could have used this advice before buying the tv.
Which is safer mounting a 70inch tv on the wall or using the tv stand ?
How in the effing heck did we survive before the millennium with the back then TV set screen sizes? The Sony 32 inches flatscreen sets from 1997 were the non plus ultra!
Right? Huddling around the little tv
Are both TVs you used in the two different rooms (with windows and without windows) 55"?
I don't like when people install their over sized TV on a chimney breast over their fireplace so you always have to look at it surely this must be wrong both for ventilation and viewing angle ?
I got 43inch X85K Sony TV on my bedroom
A good rule of thumb is to only stop when the TV has covered the entirety of your viewport ^^
42'' was the standard large size in the 2000's and to a certain extent 2010's..now its 55'', almost impossible to find 42'' TV, i prefer this size.
50 inch lounge 43 bedroom
For a 13ft sitting distance I'm debating between a 65" Vs 77" oled, any suggestions?
I sit 13' away in our living room and have a 75" Sony X90L, it's perfect. We had a 65" that came over from our apt, but we thought it was too small at 13' away.
@@speeddemon0712 thank you, much appreciated. I think I'll end up going for a 77" Sony or Panasonic.
I sit 12ft away from my 65" now and I'm contemplating getting an 85 over the 75 I originally wanted. It's only $400 more.
65 inch
Went for the Sony A80K 77" in the end, got a great deal so it was difficult to turn down!
Currently have a 45inch tv and with the formula i need a 70inch
Will I be alright going from a 32” to a 55”? I don’t want something massive cuz I’m not sure my room could fit it but I want something big enough to game and watch tv in my bed.
A 55 inch tv is about perfect for a room
Good way is to tell is to see someone with a 65 to 70 inch tv in their living room on CZcams and then you'll know whether you want that big or not.
50 good

I started with a 2" tv it became too small after 2 years then moved to 4" and it became small with an year and a half, shifted to 55" and ended becoming even smaller within 2 years, am at 75" and its becoming smaller! Am confused
1 foot of distance per 10 inches of screen size. So 7 feet away from a 70 inch screen. Any less and it's too much to take in, any more and the itch starts for a larger screen.
Need big tv now have a 34 inch it’s small and the sound doesn’t match and just bought ps5 getting a 4k tv 50” the sound comes from my amplifier and 2 12” subs
Boy you locooo...but i luv it😂
@@bassmanwell1255 they expensive as hell can’t go cheap on 4k TVs might just get a regular tv but better resolution and hdr
Just choose the largest TV. You can afford simple as that check so not confusing.
I will say 50 is universal
Always go big
Actually I watch this video 1hours after I bought my New TV
Sitting at a desk with a 43" 4k and xbox is perfect, the high destiny ppi makes it feel great
Is 160cm desk enough for a 43 inch tv? Thinking of replacing my monitor with tv but my desk is only 160x70
@@MrSansan9 yes if your eyes still got some give
I bought a 32 inch in 2014 then a year later a 40 inch in 2021 a 50inch samsung 4 k now i got an LG 55inch QNED
I’m thinking of purchasing a Samsung 55 inches Qled tv.. Is it worth it?
First rule is that the new tv always needs to be bigger than the last one 🤣
Rules to live by 🙏🏻
I think one mistake people make is they mount tvs too high. Your eyes should be above the bottom of the screen.
I used your formula and at a distance of 18' , the result shows 103" , well no one makes a tv near that size and that I can afford , any ideas ?
Get a projector
Get the biggest size you can afford. 77” or 85”. It’s not rocket science. Or a projector
Would it possible to bring your seats closer to the tv as a compromise?
My main reason for never mind this t v I hate the stand
55inch for a living room, 43-50inch for bedroom
55inch tv =138 sm*1.6=221sm
I am forced to go from 50" to 55" because they don't do 50" with IPS panels (why?? No one can tell me), and I feel pretty sure I prefer those to VA panels. I hate how flooded the market is now that trying to decide is a real headache. The manufacturers just keep blowing their own trumpets with all their sales talk instead of giving us specifics that genuinely help us. I wanted to know more about a specific model of LG, and watched a video from LG, and they wasted 30 seconds in their 2 minute video explaining what 4K is! I've been researching TVs for over a week now! Enough!
I'm not quite very front row at the cinema but I can't understand why people buy massive Tv's to then sit in a different post code when they want to watch a film!
It's called perspective
i use 55 inch tv in my small bedroom.
I bought smart tv LG 45 inches and I measured it and it was 40 inches can someone help me out
TVs are measured diagonally bro top corner to bottom corner
@@jusssrelax2247 yes I did that and it was 40 inches
95 inch is the best size Can't go back to anything less
Bigger is better . A 65 inch should be the minimum
85 at 7 to 10 ft is good. More than that perhaps 98
Your size calculator is wrong 😮 i watch my 83 " oled from 3,40 m and is awesome
I dont understand the 1.2 number everyone keeps citing. I have a small living room. So small that weve always felt a little claustrophobic. Having kids made it worse. Having people over is hard. We can barely fit a couch and love seat in it. But with an 88" tv at the 1.2 measurement i am slightly over the 88" tv distance. What do people with actual living rooms with space do? Not a lot of extra screen real estate available. A 97" doesnt even add an extra foot of distance. I cant even imagine putting an 88" in my space. It would look so oversized.
Or is 1.2 for dedicated theater rooms where you are purposefully putting it closer to the screen because it's desirable? If that's the case, the 1.6 multipurpose number I saw makes some sense for living room usage. It puts me right at my tv for a 65" which is still a little big for our room but a care enough about the tv to choose that size anyway.
Size matters teehee.
Meh, I’ve been watching a 27” iMac from about 8ft away. If I upgrade to a 50” tv from about 10ft away I’m pretty sure it’ll be fine.
I got an 85" boyeee
Size really does matter 😂😂
"Choose the size that's right for you."
Don't listen to this clown, get the biggest one you can afford. I went from a 65 to an 86 and it's stupid huge in my small apartment. Best movie and gaming experience.
We love it 👏🏻 if it works for you, go for it!
I mean his advice still isn’t wrong. Biggest size you can afford happens to be the best for you. Not everyone wants an 75+ inch tv even if they can afford it. Specially if your couch isn’t that far away from the tv. I wouldn’t want an 80+ inch tv cuz then I’d have to start moving my head to watch all areas of the screen from my couch lol
Way too big unless casual gamer and sitting back from TV
Yep, get the biggest your wallet and space allows!
im 1.4 m away from the TV and i chose a 70 inch 4k tv por gaming room ....! im ok with that .... i was 2 m away from the TV on a 75 inch Tv in the living room ....!
Damn, my eyes would be burning at those views! 😵 I had a 40" at 2m and it was good for many years. Just recently upgraded to 43", but there's practically no difference, it's still okat thou. But I ordered a 50" today, I think that's the right size for me.
@@MaximusAdonicus hows the experience with 50inch at 2m distance? We have the same case. I’m torn between 43 and 50. Which size should i choose 43 or 50?
@@ninocarloarcilla9665 It still hasn't arrived! But should be coming anytime now... But I think the 50" will be better.
Way too big
@@ps5andstuffhere couldn't agree more, I bought TCL 43 inches QLED and I think it's a little bit too big, bigger than that size might be too overwhelming. I think 32 inches for 2 meter distance is a sweet spot.
109 inch means 10ft
3 minutes into the video and still hasn't talked on the point.
Bigger = Better
I have 5 meters and just bought 75"...
Mine is also 5 meters....is 75" fine or would you recommend other size?
@@harish1937 To be honest with 5 meters distance I'd go for would be 100". 75 is okayish, but there is no wow effect ;)
i have a small living room area i have 55 hisense
**Its the TV size x 1.2 for the distance**
45* angle of view is the extreme immersion.
Just get the biggest one you can fit in your space.
TVs 65+ look very chavy
is this a joke? a 4k screen 109 inches at 55" size? you wont know the difference from 1080p. what a waste. thx recommends a 65" at 72" lmao...
109 ins distance, = 55 in screen😂😂😂😂😂
When I moved into my first apartment a few years ago I got a 55 inch at that distance and it did not take long before I started regretting going with that size. I now have a 65 inch, and for movies with black bars even that feels to small. I'm itching to get a 75 inch by the end of the year.
Lol yeah a quick Google will tell you that’s wrong 😂😂😂
Got my first OLED, Sony A90J at 55” and raised my eyebrow when he said 109” from the TV. I sit about 45” from my tv and it feels immersive for being in a smaller gaming room.
45 inches away from a 55 inch? Your going to go blind my dude.
Yea he’s talking shiit
So the biggest problem for most is 💲🏦🏧💵 because these is the reality of watch ur watching 👀👀👀👀💲💲just like everything u can find thousands of 55 inch tvs but u can't really afford the best unless u got the income or for those who are buy 86 inch tvs the the drug money not buy them story drug dealers not hating in u just telling u the truth
i have shitty vision so im thinking bigger is better lol
though tvs seem to get REALLY pricey after 65 inch especially good oled/minileds
i just measured out a 75 inch and thats MASSIVE so maybe 65 inch is good for me
nah, get the biggest your wallet and space allows !
