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.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great TV,
By Matt and Mandy (Arlington, VA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: VIZIO M420NV 42-inch Class Edge Lit Razor LED LCD HDTV (Electronics)
I have owned four HDTVs, and this is my 3rd brand. I really love this TV. It is the only one that I haven't had to calibrate the picture because it is beautiful with the factory settings. The picture looks great for Blu-ray and PS3 gaming. It also looks great for over-the-air television channels, so it handles the high quality HD and low quality HD equally well.I purchased this TV because it exceeds Energy Star 4.0 standards, and Vizio has a great reputation for making TVs that last (unlike Samsung, which is a brand that I replaced when BOTH of my Samsung TVs stopped working). This is also the only American brand, which all things being equal (and actually, they aren't because this TV outperforms other brands in my humble opinion) is a nice bonus for this purchase.

Excellent American Product,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: VIZIO M420NV 42-inch Class Edge Lit Razor LED LCD HDTV (Electronics)
The delivery was very fast and it was deliveered by two persons, not one, so I had help to bring the package into the room in front of its final location. Believeme, at 74 years old this counts for a lot.The installation was much simpler than with the older sets I have purchased. It needed no adjustment, the picture came up sharp and clear. The Vizio uses less than 1/3 the amount of electricity as the older, smaller set did. The picture is very bright and very sharp. It is also clear from a very wide angle (which was a surprise as well). My last , older Vizio, had faded or messed up picture when viewd from too sharp an angle, not this one. It also delivers a good picture in a bright , sunlit room.

VIZIO LCD/LED Lights up my HDTV experience,
This review is from: VIZIO M420NV 42-inch Class Edge Lit Razor LED LCD HDTV (Electronics)
I just obtained this model VIZIO HDTV a week ago, and am thoroughly satisfied with its performance in several media. HDTV with stereo sound via Comcast is stunning; DVDs (I don't have blueray) very good, as are VHS played on an ancient (1980's) Sharp. Haven't tried showing photos via USB or running laptop media yet, but it's nice to have this capability. According to my pre-purchase research, the three best quality HDTV manufacturers in the US market at the moment are LG, Samsung and VIZIO. VIZIO provided the best LED value for my money.
