Find TVs by diagonal screen size


How big is your ideal HDTV screen? Is there such a thing as too big?


TVs come in all sizes, from portables with 2-inch screens to giant plasmas with screens of 65 inches--or larger. But before you choose your dream screen size, you'll need to choose an aspect ratio, too: 4:3, the squarish, standard shape that's dominated TVs since the 1950s; or 16:9, the cinemalike wide-screen format that dominates new HDTVs. CNET recommends going wide-screen--it'll match perfectly with wide-screen DVDs and high-def programming.
