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 Go back to list of all features

Why LCD?

LCD displays deliver increasingly higher contrast ratios along with bright, crystal-clear images that look great in a variety of lighting conditions.  They're available in sizes that fit any space, at prices that meet any budget.  Many LCD HDTVs also have new features that can significantly reduce power consumption.  So whether you enjoy movies, sports or video games, there's an LCD HDTV just right for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good value, April 23, 2009

By	D. Knapp "FlyGuy" (Vienna, Va) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: LG 37LH30 37-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV, Gloss Black (Electronics)

I have had the LG 37LH30 for about 3 weeks now. It seems to be an excellent TV and I would have given it 5 stars except for one thing. It has only one optical audio out and no RCA type audio outputs. That means I cannot run the audio out to a simple old amp to power my external speakers. I would need to buy a newer amp with optical audio inputs. The optical gives 5.1 audio, but I don't have that sort of setup and do not have any 5.1 audio coming in anyway. Other than that it is doing a fine job. I have DVD, cable to the TV tuner, Tivo, PC-VGA and a cable set top box all coming in with inputs to spare. I went through hours of comparisons and feature filtering and am happy with the result.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome, March 22, 2009

By	MJ - See all my reviews

This review is from: LG 37LH30 37-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV, Gloss Black (Electronics)

So here's the deal, I compared the 2008 model of this LG with a comparable Sony and Samsung. Side by side, feature for feature the LG put them both in the closet. Do yourself a favor and do the same if you're thinking of buying a TV. As of this writing (mid March 2009) the 2009 model will be out approximately next week. The store I bought from gave me $100 discount if I bought and waited for the new model to arrive. I gladly obliged.
