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

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Unit, Great Price, February 1, 2010

This review is from: VIZIO Class XVT Series TruLED XVT472SV 47-Inch 240 Hz sps LCD HDTV (Black) (Electronics)

I would've purchased this from Amazon, but it was not available for delivery to my address, so I purchased it locally. This replaced my Vizio 42" plasma that I bought refurbished about 3 years ago, and is being used with a Yamaha home theatre receiver (the digital cable box, DVD, etc. are connected through it).

The picture quality in comparing the two is a world of difference. The plasma unit was good, but this LED unit is outstanding (aside from the bigger picture) - just a bright and vibrant as the plasma, but without the drawback of needing to have lower light levels in the room. The 240 Hz is definitely worth making sure you get, as there is no point in wasting money on 120 Hz or less. After looking around for the past month or so, it was a bit of a no-brainer to get this feature (requirement) on whatever new TV that I was going to get.

This is also my third Vizio unit, and I have to say that they have not disappointed me at all. As I said, the plasma was a refurb, but it has worked beautifully since I got it. I would definitely recommend Vizio to anyone looking for a new set.

This review is from: VIZIO Class XVT Series TruLED XVT472SV 47-Inch 240 Hz sps LCD HDTV (Black) (Electronics)

Before purchasing this TV I purchased 2 Samsungs and 1 LG. Both of those were on sale at best buy for 999. The first two samsungs were the 120hz non LED and were nice TVs however both came out of the box with a dead pixel so they were returned. I previoulsy had a Samsung 32in and it had been great, so needless to say I lost a little faith in Samsung and I've been a long time Samsung fan. The LG I bought also had a dead pixel out of the box! (and overall I wasnt that impressed with the picture quality aside from that.)

I decided to get my money back and take a break, then I saw this TV on amazon. Aside from the horrible delivery service, this TV is great. The picture quality is stunning. The low profile and thin bezel really make this set even more attractive. The universal remote is nice for connectivity. The lack of internet did not affect me because I have an xbox 360 and I am soon buying a PS3. I picked this up for 1299 on amazon but even at 1450 its a great deal. However considering this set went up to the same price as the same set with internet, it would make sense to just get the one with internet I suppose. The LED backlighting creates a very vibrant picture and the color is just breath taking. SD programming is so so but I blame my cable box and comcast for the little quirks that are seen during SD programming. Another thing that drew me to this set is that it has a matte finish on the screen. The samsung was a semi-gloss and was rather reflective. Even in low lighting, during dark video games I could see myself. Not cool. The vizio reflects a little light but is a matte screen so it's a world of difference.

The only complaint I have is there seems to be very slight edge distortion (that is the very edge of the picture where you are never looking) on certain input types but again I dont blame the TV because when I put my Windows 7 PC on input there is not a flaw to be found. I've also been told vizio has great customer support and offer a year in home repairs on TV's this size. Vizio also offers a zero bright defective pixel gaurentee.

Sound is as good as any TV. I dont weigh this in usually because I use a surround sound receiver.

This review is from: VIZIO Class XVT Series TruLED XVT472SV 47-Inch 240 Hz sps LCD HDTV (Black) (Electronics)

I was a lttle apprehensive about buying this TV since I'm not terribly familiar with the Vizio brand. I looked at this model everywhere and it is amazingly thin, has a ton of options for input, and is rated for energy efficiency.
I'm not a TV fanatic so I'm not even going to try to go into the specs, but all I can tell you is that when this thing came out of the box, it asked me if I was a home user (as opposed ot a business, I assume to set the appropriate brightness) and hit the ground running. I am amazed with the picture quality, and I don't even have cable!!! I use this with an antenna, and often a blue ray play to stream netflix. I am so blown away by this TV every day, I cannot even think of a single complaint to list here.
My husband and I had a great debate about size (he wanted a 42", I wanted a 55") This was our compromise, and honestly I haven't had a single regret!
