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 VIzio-No longer the crap brand!, August 26, 2010

By 

Chris L "Chris" (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews

This review is from: VIZIO M220NV 22-Inch Full HD 1080P LED LCD HDTV with VIA Internet Application, Black (Electronics)

I bought this TV for my dorm after a few months of researching. Its really one of the best values out there for its size. The retail price is something like $320, thats frankly ridiculous! I paid $240 at BJ's. The 22'' TV market is really bad. You have on one side the budget Sylvania Models or the "good" brands that cost and arm and a leg. I had always had the impression that Vizio was just another budget brand, but after doing many comparison shopping trips and watching the TV, its clear that Vizio is to TVs as Hyundai is to cars. Hyundai came to the US with terrible quality cars that were cheap. Vizio came to the market with TVs that had a reputation for being cheap. Slowly, Hyundai improved their quality and now are considered an excellent value. Same thing with Vizio. They say 1080p doesn't matter unless its a really big TV, but for the price its a nice feature just knowing its there. As for the sound: I'm not even using this as a factor in my review. Has anyone ever heard the speakers of ANY other flat-panel TV? Seriously. They ALL suck. I have never heard a flat-panel TV with good sound. I have a 42'' Samsung, 32'' Samsung and 19'' Sylvania and all of them have terrible sound. Its just not worth even considering when you're in the market for TVs. After all, you're spending all that money on an HDTV, can't you afford to get a set of cheap speakers?

The internet Apps feature is awesome. I had initially seen the TV and was intrigued, but not really sold because I figured you'd need to plug it in to your router. Then I found out it had Wi-Fi! Needless to say, I was pretty impressed! The Apps are really cool, though I don't see much use in going on Facebook on your TV. The Netflix App is very very useful and works flawlessly.

Seriously consider this TV. Go to your local electronics store and compare it to the other TVs on the wall. Its equal to if not better than the other models.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Picture, not the best Sound, June 16, 2010

By 

J. K. Lemons "E'Lemonator" - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: VIZIO M220NV 22-Inch Full HD 1080P LED LCD HDTV with VIA Internet Application, Black (Electronics)

I bought this tv from Target as soon as available. I took it home hooked it up, and the picture was fantastic. I played around with the different features, checked my facebook, watched part of a movie on netflix, and I watched part of the NBA Finals. All of these were crystal clear...

The one problem is the sound. If you are used to listening to an old computer monitor with built in speakers, then you are probably fine. If you have watched tv on a regular tv then you will be heartbroken. The sound is just terrible. It does not get the loudest and it just plain sounds like a poorly designed computer monitor.

Sound was just a deal breaker, so I brought it back and bought a Samsung.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great picture and wireless in the bedroom, June 23, 2010

This review is from: VIZIO M220NV 22-Inch Full HD 1080P LED LCD HDTV with VIA Internet Application, Black (Electronics)

Bought this TV for the VIA Internet Application. Not expecting great sound from a Razor thin TV, I added a pair of Logitech S120 2.0 Multimedia Speakers for under $10. Turn off the SRS TruSurround HD in the advanced audio menu and it sounds just fine. Logitech S120 2.0 Multimedia Speakers
