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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Greg L., April 26, 2009

By	G. Loushin (Butte, Montana United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Outstanding!! -- I bought this product after looking at quite a few different brands. I was not let down. The 240Hz is perfect for sports and fast moving shows with a lot of action -- picture quality is A-1, sharp and very clear and does NOT blur with fast and quick action. Has many different functions than a person can use to change the format that he or she likes best. The menu interface is very EASY to use and gives many options with input, picture, and audio settings. A real great feature is "clear voice" which sharpens normal speach and makes hearing easier especially with a lot of background noise. Also if watching a DVD the TV remembers the settings that are programmed into that particular imput even though they may be different from the settings while watching normal TV channels. A person doesn't have to re-program each time you watch a DVD or other optional component
A really great HDTV choice

4.0 out of 5 stars Great TV beware of sound system you buy, June 17, 2009

By	K. Green "Radar146" (Chicago IL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Had the TV installed today and learned during the installation that it does not support the Bose cinematic sound system I bought. This LG product only supports optical input. My tech installer had never seen a TV that only had an optical input requirement. I'm happy with the TV's picture so the sound system is being returned. Considering I bought both at the same time through Amazon it would have been nice if there had been a non-compatibility warning from them... Have had the TV for a little over a week now. The picture is amazing. With some of DVDs it feels like you're on the soundstage while they are making the movie
