Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?

HDTV Size chart
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 LG 47" LCD, 47LH40, A++, September 21, 2009
By E. Bertini (Buffalo, NY) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: LG 47LH40 47-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV, Gloss Black (Electronics)
First thing I want to say here is that I spent 2 weeks in and out of different electronics stores, comparing technologies and brands and features to narrow down the best HDTV's in the 46-47" range. Of coarse the Sony Bravia was the #1, but it is over $[...].
This TV came in on my #1, for it's 120Hz "TrueMotion" picture, and true 1080p quality. So I bought it.
For three weeks now I have had the pleasure of owning this HDTV, and let me make some things straight about other reviews.

1. The TrueMotion 120Hz feature is a little strange at first. What it does, is it puts a skinny Blur around the outline of an object in motion, causing that object to look LIFELIKE when it moves. This applies to people walking, trees swaying, and footballs flying. After about two days of watching, you may get used to it. I got used to it, and LOVE IT. It is now weird for me to watch other TV's without this. However, if you do not get used to it, you can turn off the TrueMotion feature and just have a 120Hz refresh rate.

2. The lip-sync. The LG TV is as smart as they come. It will take about 4 hours of TV time for it to calibrate itself to your cable-box or satellite-receiver. Also, depending on your HDMI cable usage, the problem can be solved by going on Amazon.com and buying a $[...] "Digital Audio Cable" and using that for your TV sound rather than the HDMI cord. Again though, easy fix once you get to know your TV.

3. The 47LH40 has smart picture capability. Which kicks Butt. My TV Room has two great big windows directly across from this TV. By enabling the Smart Picture feature ON, it will sense the light in your room, and adjust its backlight accordingly. I do NOT get any glare, and the picture is always razor sharp!

4. Little-known fact, is that LG makes the TV tuners for Samsung, Sony, Sharp, and Toshiba. So naturally, they will put the best technologies in their own TVs, making it one more reason to love LG.

5. It has 4 HDMI inputs! Which means virtually every component you want to connect (PS3, XBox, DVD player, Blueray, etc...) can connect with the best HD picture.

6. The 80,000 : 1 contrast ratio is deeper blacks for dark-shows and movies. This is truly noticeable. I replaced my 4 year old Samsung 32" HDTV with this one, and can not believe how much this actually can be noticed once you have another TV to compare it to. My old one had 60,000:1, and deep-blacks would appear "pixelated"... but any scene, day or night, a lot or a little detail, looks just as good (or better) than it would in person!

Now that I have given you a few reasons to consider this TV, I just want to say that in the past 3 weeks of me owning this, it has been nothing but excellent. My TV shows have never looked more realistic... Football and (preseason) Hockey make you feel like you are in the stands! And Video Games (PS3 specifically) make you feel part of the game. It is truly a great TV, at a great price, and I highly recommend it. Just have patience, if your lip-sync is off for the first two days, give it time to adjust, or watch the owners-CDROM they give you, you'll find out how to fix that. Everyone's cable input is different so the Tuner needs time to adjust itself.

Hope this helped!

4.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic TV, but turn off the Trumotion, May 17, 2009
This review is from: LG 47LH40 47-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV, Gloss Black (Electronics)
Beautiful, crystal clear, bright, high-contrast image. Nice price.

I've seen people complain about strange blurring effects or unusual motion. That's the Trumotion technology--turn it off! My brother is an installer and he's heard of people returning LH40's because of this problem. Turn off Trumotion and the picture returns to normal.

The Trumotion defect is easiest to spot in a scene with rough camera movements. I first noticed it in a scene inside a helicopter where the camera was kind of jumping around to show how rough the ride was. Instead of showing the correct scene, Trumotion, even on low, smoothed out the ride and it looked like the actors were just floating around the scene in a weird way. I turned off Trumotion and everything looked great.

I guess Trumotion could have its uses, but it should be off by default.

This TV also bleeds some backlighting out the back of the TV. In a dark room, when the scene goes dark, you may suddenly realize that the wall behind the TV is lit up. It's a little distracting because of that, but most of the time I never notice it.

All the connectors are back-facing which makes it a little bit harder to wall-mount.

Despite these issues it's a beautiful TV. Trumotion is easily turned off.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Deal, Amazing picutre. Buy it!, July 20, 2009
This review is from: LG 47LH40 47-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV, Gloss Black (Electronics)
Just purchased this TV two days ago from a local home entertainment store. Got it for $1050, a steal! Since Best Buy had it for 1079, I got the price down a little more.

I did lots of research and read tons of reviews. I was considering the Sony V5100 series and all of the Samsungs 650 series and up. This beats both of them. Do not listen to bad reviews about LG, none of them apply to this tv or any of LG's newer TVs, and don't compare pictures between this and other TV brands at best buy or FRYs because TV calibration can be way off at those big chain stores.

I compared side by side at home entertainment stores with the Sony (way overpriced) and the Samsung 630B and 650B. The Sony is nothing special looking on the outside and the picture doesn't blow you away. The Samsung, you lose so much detail in the color because the screens are way too bright. I saw side by side the Samsung's reds were so pink and its greens so bright and fake, a red flower on the LG was dark and beautiful and you could see all of its fine lines and folds...however on the Samsung it was pink and the lines and folds faded because you lost that detail. Samsung just looks to artificial and bright for me and I don't like that. Also the LG isn't a glossy screen so you never have to worry about light reflecting from the screen. The blacks are very nice as well, I mean it isn't an LED or plasma but the average consumer cannot tell that much anymore with LCDs becoming so good.

The LG was recommended by two very good home entertainment stores over the sony and the Samsung. It is just such a good deal and I liked the picture more, truer colors, very deep blacks and a classy look on the outside. Not to forget the speakers are much much better than the Samsungs, and the LG has the intelligent sensor which detects light in your room and adjusts the panel for how bright or dark you room is, to make picture calibration automatic and more accurate for the setting.

It is a truly amazing TV for the money, I mean if you want to overspend for a SONY go ahead and if you want the top, top of the line, this obviously isn't your set but it is a damn good TV. I mean keep it for 4 or 5 years and then the next big thing LED or OLED will be out, so whats the point in spending $2K+ today when in a few years your TV will be old news.

Go for the bargain and just get this TV, its an incredible set.
