Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?

HDTV Size chart
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

Just Ordered Another One...
 
Review Date: July 13, 2010
Reviewer: J. Carpenter,
This is an excellent TV, especially for the price point - beautiful, sharp colors, great viewing angle, very thin LED design, and light weight as compared to traditional LCDs. While I would generally prefer a larger screen, the space I bought it for - Armoire in a bedroom, would only accommodate 32in. This is a perfect size for a bedroom or smaller living space. I compared this TV against a leading brand 32in LED at a local store and while this LED was slightly thicker and heavier, the colors on the screen were much brighter and facial features much more defined than the competition - and best of all its less expensive. The design is very modern - sharp lines, thin LED. It states Silver Grey in the description, but the bezel and stand are glossy black. I like it so well, I just ordered another one on Amazon.com!
Just got it
 
Review Date: July 2, 2010
Reviewer: Will Kennedy,
I just received the TV today. I must say it looks pretty good. Better than any other 32" LED LCD I could find except for the 5400 model. I will update later.

PROS:(so far) Great picture the colors are so beautiful especially after calibration, sound is okay, inputs, I like the remote, Menus are easy to use, picture wizard helps a lot, Amazon shipped promptly


CONS: The owners manual is ignorant. Its not organized well at all. There is a CD that came with it, but I would rather not have to deal with that. THE TV IS NOT SILVER GRAY! ITS BLACK. I wanted a silver gray finish since I was designing a room. Trumotion is garbage. Its choppy and gives me a headache. The TV looks great with it off. I noticed it watching the World Cup games and watching blu-rays :(

I would recommend this TV to anyone looking for a 32" LED. Best deal and picture that I've seen and I've researched for the past month now. In fact, all the LGs I viewed were to me and spec-wise best in their respective class.


*IF ANYONE HAS ANY PROFESSIONAL CALIBRATION SETTINGS PLEASE POST THEM HERE! I would appreciate it.*
first impression
 
Review Date: June 29, 2010
Reviewer: William N. Doty, IOWA
I got the tv yesterday. The picture is fantastic. The facial features of actors are extremely clear.
I used a digital optical connection and cable to connect the tv to my stereo. The stereo is just an 85 W sony a/v with two speakers.
When operated this way, the sound is as good as the picture.
The paper owner's manual is a bit of a negative. A disc is included, but I haven't tried that yet.
I would definitely recommend this tv.
Amazon had the lowest price and free shipping.
Great TV
 
Review Date: August 14, 2010
Reviewer: acbatchelor, TN, USA
Definitely one of the best TVs I have ever used. Actually it is the best, but this is the first LED TV I have ever owned so it is not fair to the others. Great picture, great features, and good sound. I don't know if the sound is good enough to call great, but it is definitely better than all my previous TVs.

The only bad thing about this TV is that the holes on the back of this TV for a wall mount are very close together. The wall mounts that work for the other 8 or 10 TVs in my house will not fit this one. The only wall mounts that work for this TV are small ones that I don't like. Also the manual is confusing because it is made for several different models and the layout is poor. However, most of what is in the manual it common sense.

I am very impressed that so far this TV has got 5 stars on 5 out of 6 reviews here, and 5 stars on all 52 reviews on Best Buy!

UPDATE: By the way, I notice people saying that truMotion is bad, garbage, etc. It actually is not. I found out that sometimes it is choppy and sometimes it is not. For me it is only choppy if I am watching something that is not HD or if it is an old movie that was made before HD existed and converted to HD. But, for shows that is true HD or for games like XBOX 360 it is a good feature. I have mine turned off on my HDMI 1 because it is where I watch TV shows. However, I have it turned on for HDMI 2 since I have my XBOX connected there.
I can see!
 
Review Date: July 27, 2010
Reviewer: John Harrigan, Page, AZ
Especially very good for people who don't know squat about programming the tele for certain color settings the menu makes it easy. LED lighting on an LCD display makes it seem less intense than other televisions of this same quality and size. Best thing is the LG energy saving option saves you more than a few $$ which is a total bonus for these electronics
Great HD LED TV
 
Review Date: August 25, 2010
Reviewer: Jose Ramirez Garrido,
Must have this TV.... the picture is amazing, the sound, the looks evrything!!!...and the best thing is the price!!
Not So Great
 
Review Date: August 13, 2010
Reviewer: Tim TheEnchanter,
Pros:
Nice looking TV
Vivid colors
LOTS of picture adjustments
Decent remote

Cons:
Spot lighting: Two obvious cones of light bleeding through along the top
Some cable channels judder and skip with Cinemotion off and/or on. Probably mostly due to the cable signal, but other TVs don't do it.
Some what difficult to assemble the stand

Major issue: From the start I received a prompt that told me something new had been connected to the 2nd A/V input even though nothing was ever plugged into that input. It would come up randomly and sometimes not go away until I pressed ENTER on the remote. Service technician indicated that a microprocessor would have to be replaced. Ultimately decided to return the TV to Amazon because I was still under the 30 day return policy.

The hardware issue combined with the above cons led me to go with a different TV. LG still seems to have weak TVs and LED technology may not be where it needs to be to replace regular LCDs back lights. Went with a SONY LCD and did not have any black light bleeds and the blacks were darker than this TV.

I probably got a bad set, but still: Buyer beware.


NOTE: The LG tech service was really helpful and I had a service technician at my house within 4 days of making the call.
