Choosing the correct TV screen size

Choosing the correct TV screen size Viewing distance recommendations are approximately 6 to ten feet for screens sized 37". A 42" plasma display may be optimally viewed from 10-14 feet. A 50" plasma display will look best from 12-16 feet, and you should have at least 15 feet to work with when installing a 60" or higher. Ultimately, though, the choice is up to you. Today’s Plasma screen TV’s come in a range of sizes from 37” up. The bigger plasma screens available in today’s market are up to a massive 103” which is basically a cinema screen!! Due to the technology that goes into them LCD TV’s can begin at smaller screen sizes. They use liquid crystal diode making them able to be competent at s smaller size. LCD screens begin as small as 10” but also go up to the largest size that a Plasma screen can go as well.   Both LSD and Plasma screen TV’s are very similar in terms of clarity and colour sharpness as well as having the ability to be flat. The best viewing distance changes by screen size. For example for a regular 37” TV a distance of approximately 6 to ten feet away is recommended for optimum viewing. In comparison to this for a 50” TV a distance of around 12- 16 feet is recommended. These numbers are just a guide though as ultimately it is up to the viewer to decide the correct viewing distance. The issue of whether to mount the screen on a wall or keep with the traditional TV stand is also a decision that is best left purely to the viewer.
