Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?

2008-06-13T05:19:00.000-07:00

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.

These rules have been designed to tell you where to sit in relation to your new TV. Look at it another way: 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. So, which size TV should you get?

Doing the math backwards, you get this formula:

Minimum size= Viewing distance/3

Maximum size=Viewing distance/1.5

Doing that math straight up can give some unusual size numbers, so if we round the math to existing common HDTV sizes we get this handy chart:

If the TV you need for your room is 40 inches or less, a flat-panel LCD TV is your best bet. Between 42 and 60 inches, you can choose between plasma, LCD, or rear-projection sets. Plasma HDTVs tend to be the most popular choice in this size range, as they offer good picture quality and flat-panel allure. Flat-panel LCDs are now competitive in price with plasma in the 40- to 46-inch sizes, but generally not available over 52-inches--and at that size they can be pretty expensive.

Rear-projection TVs, such as DLPs or 3LCD rear-projection TVs, are often going to be the best priced of these large-screen TVs. These sets offer a great picture, but where flat-panel HDTVs are about 4-inches thick, rear-projection models are anywhere from 10 inches (on the very slim side) to 16 inches--so you aren't going to be hanging one on your wall. It turns out most flat-panel HDTV buyers don't end up hanging theirs on the wall either. Another rear-projection option is LCOS (liquid crystal on silicon). This technology is highly regarded for picture quality and is generally only available now in full 1080p resolution models. LCOS is a generic term; the two different implementations of this technology you'll find on Amazon.com are the HD-ILA TVs offered by JVC and the SXRD sets offered by Sony. While there are subtle technical differences between these two, we find both provide excellent picture quality.

If you want to go really big with your TV (it's OK, don't be ashamed to admit it), you're looking at a rear-projection model or a front-projection model. Rear-projection models (including LCD, DLP, and LCOS) are available up to 70 inches in size (a little bigger for some brands). That's a really, really big TV set. Please measure your room first, check the dimensions on the model you're looking at, and make sure that's really going to fit. For screens bigger than 70 inches, you need a front projector, also known as a home theater projector or a home entertainment projector. These are just what they sound like; they project the image forward like a movie projector does. The technologies available are the same as for rear-projection TVs. If you buy a home theater projector, you'll also need to think about the screen you're projecting on to. Also remember that home theater projectors don't come with built-in TV tuners, these are really just for projecting an image. To get TV, you'll need to hook your projector up to an external tuner and/or DVD player. At this size, seriously consider stepping up to HD DVD or Blu-ray for your movie needs. At the very least, make sure you have an upconverting DVD player. Standard-definition images look pretty poor at really large sizes. Also remember that if you want to go with a front projector, you'll also need to get a screen.

Samsung LN37A550 37-inch 1080p LCD HDTV

2008-06-06T05:19:00.000-07:00

Once you experience the amazing picture quality that high definition offers, it'll be almost impossible for you to watch "normal" TV. The SAMSUNG LN37A550 is the perfect way to upgrade your home entertainment. With full 1080p resolution, images are sharper and more realistic. And a 15,000:1 contrast ratio delivers stunning contrast in dark or bright scenes. Full HD (1080p) contains 1.5 times more scanning lines than conventional HD TVs. That means more pixels, more details and a better picture. A resolution that is approximately twice as much as conventional HD TVs creates the most perfect picture imaginable. Contrast and brightness levels achieve new heights in this LCD TV. Watch movies and shows come to life with enhanced details in very dark or bright scenes. Enjoy a more realistic, sharper picture quality that's sure to catch your eye with 15,000:1 contrast ratio. One of the most important features for an LCD panel is the pixel response time. Response time refers to the amount of time it takes a pixel to "refresh" itself-to go from being active to being inactive, (ready to be re-activated). The lower the milliseconds, the faster the response time. A very fast 5ms response time virtually eliminates any blurring and gives you smooth-motion action scenes. The newest feature is the Wiselink USB Connection that easily hooks up your MP3 player or digital camera to your TV with the USB 2.0 connection. A simple user interface lets you scroll through and view play lists and pictures. You can zoom, rotate or play photo slide shows and even add music. With the SAMSUNG LN37A550 HDTV you really get the total package. 15,000 - 1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio 5ms Response Time 16 - 9 Aspect Ratio SRS TruSurround XT 10 W + 10 W Audio System Input Ports - 3 x HDMI (1 side, 2 rear), 2 x Component, 2 x A/V (1 side, 1 rear), 1x 15-pin VGA PC, 1 x S-Video (side), Wiselink (USB 2.0), RF antenna inputs, Headphone jack (side) A

Toshiba REGZA 32HL67U 32-inch 720p LCD HDTV

2008-05-11T04:30:00.000-07:00

Toshiba's Regza line of TVs marry state-of-the-art technology to hip design. One feature that sets them apart is PixelPure 14-bit digital video processing, which creates more than 4,000 levels of color gradations for a smooth, natural-looking picture without posterization or image banding. Another benefit is a fast response time. Response time is the interval an LCD screen takes to from its darkest color to its lightest color and back again, measured in milliseconds (ms). This screen's response time is 8 ms, which is at the faster and better end of the spectrum. This screen is likely to display cleaner, sharper images during high-action scenes and with fewer image artifacts than other screens in its class. This technology is housed in a black gloss cabinetry that is sure to fit well with most any decor.

The 32HL67 has a panel resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels. This qualifies it as 720 progressive-line HDTV, which is a noticeably better picture than standard definition sets, but not as detailed as the 1080 HD sets available. Its 16:9 wide screen aspect ratio delivers most movies the way they were meant to be seen in the theater, without back bars wasting the top and bottom of the screen.
