It works well for everything except football where I wish I had a 55". That's what I'll buy when I have to replace the current one.
What difference does it make whether you're standing or sitting in the store? It makes none to my eyes, but if it's really important to you, you could always take one of those little folding chairs that some folks take to sporting events.
Happy shopping.
Is there a formula or formulas on the interweb that someone can use to calculate how big of a HDTV set they should buy based upon how far they will be sitting away from the TV to view it?
I've been sitting 10 feet away from my current entertainment cabinet for years trying to watch a 27" JVC analog stereo TV set which just died last night; I've already started looking at HDTV sets online. Some relatives have told me to look at LED sets instead of LCD sets.
I will probably have to buy a new TV cabinet to replace my old one which can only accomodate a 27" size analog TV or an HDTV set no wider than 29.5" inches so the cabinet's pocket doors will still be able to open and close and not rub against the side of the TV.
My cabinet which is nice but old; about 10 years old is about 6 feet wide by 5 feet high. I've ruled out putting a much larger HDTV on top of my current cabinet because it would be sitting too high in the air I think.
If I bought one of the newer lower profile cabinets that are out today; something no more than 3 feet high by 6 feet wide and if I sat in a chair roughly 10 feet away is there a formula to determine how big of a HDTV set I should buy? I might have to consider moving my chair closer to the cabinet; maybe 8 feet away instead of 10.
I'll have to go to a few retail stores to look at sets but there are no electronic retail stores here where I live that are set up with living room type areas where you can go; sit down and watch a TV. You go to a Walmart or a Best Buy or a Target or Sears where you'll stand and look at their sets on the wall. Feedback on my question would be appreciated.
