Which Size HDTV is Right for My 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

Great TV for the money....Fast delivery works great out of the box, easy set up (in my case stand alone use)The TV I got was a "open box" special and so far I haven't noticed anythig wrong with it. I buy lots of "stuff" from Amzanon.com and trust them for the quality of the products and the service they offer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spectacular TV, September 11, 2010

This review is from: Samsung UN40C5000 40-Inches 1080p LCD TV - Black/red (Electronics)

We just recently got this TV. And I first want to start off by saying WOW! It is the clearest picture you will ever see. The ease of set up and navigation around the Menu options is so simple. Quick set up and assembly of base or wall mount. When watching the baseball game in HD, you honestly feel like you are there watching in person. Great price for a great tv. I would highly suggest this to anyone!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good TV - Samsung was not ready to support, April 3, 2010

This review is from: Samsung UN40C5000 40-Inches 1080p LCD TV - Black/red (Electronics)

We purchased this TV as soon as the 2010 models were available.

The Amazon purchasing experience was what we have come to expect: easy, with delivery as expected.

We had problems out of the box that were not related to the TV itself, but rather related to our cable provider, Brighthouse Networks. In attempting to resolve the issue, I first called Samsung on about March 11, 2010. The Samsung folks were unable to identify the model based upon the information I gave them from the label on the back of the TV. Finally, I was told that Samsung representatives had not yet been provided with any information on the new 2010 models. They were unable to help me at all. I was told that someone would call me back before the end of the month (Remember, this was March 11, so Samsung was are promising to call be back within three weeks!). I find it strange indeed that Samsung would begin delivery of products they are not prepared to support.

That said, the problem was eventually diagnosed by Brighthouse and was related to their system not to the TV itself. The TV has a fantastic, almost unbelievable picture. Other than the fact that the speakers are marginal, I have not discovered anything I do not like about the TV. I'll have to hook it up to play through my receiver, but given the thickness of the TV and the limited space for speakers within the unit itself, it's hard to believe the sound is as good as it is.

This is a great product. Hopefully in future years Samsung with have the sense not to sell new products before they are ready to support them.
