Members OneHappyPappy Posted March 13, 2006 Members Share Posted March 13, 2006 I'm thinking about getting a new tv and I'm either contemplating a 30 inch hdtv or going with a projection tv then I'd have to get the hardware for the hd. Do you think 30" is enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GYBE! Posted March 13, 2006 Members Share Posted March 13, 2006 Can`t answer your question as it would really depend on viewing distance and a {censored}load more information (needs, wants, uses, etc...) When you do decide though, lurk over here and pick up some really great info (they have a few trolls as well though:( )http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OneHappyPappy Posted March 13, 2006 Author Members Share Posted March 13, 2006 The actual viewing distance would be close, I'm in an apartment at the moment and moving into a home won't happen for a few more years. So we're talking about six or seven feet to the entertainment center. I'm just looking for something to enhance gaming and the whole movie experience, of course I'll be looking into getting surround sound as well.

Members kh24 Posted March 13, 2006 Members Share Posted March 13, 2006 anything under 42 is not worth it. Hell I bought a 42 for my bedroom and have a 60" for my living room. Just save up a little more and get a quality 42" hd tv. I dont care if its for an apartment or a multimillion dollar home. A quality tv is still a quality tv and you will need a 42" wide screen to enjoy what HD has to offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kh24 Posted March 13, 2006 Members Share Posted March 13, 2006 I have a 42" sony LCD projection. You can get em for around 1600-2000. I think its a great tv. I work for circuit city so I bought every 42-44" we sold and tried it out in my home to see which one had the best picture and was just overall better. Sony came out number 1 and it was by far. Better color and better clarity. Samsung was 2nd and was a pretty good tv, if you would like to go with a DLP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the market for one myself, and for where I'm going to put it 42" would be too big. Going from a 27" "regular" tv, a 32" LCD is just about a perfect transition.

Members SkyhighRocks Posted March 13, 2006 Members Share Posted March 13, 2006 I have a 30" samsung hdtv in my living room...perfect size for the room and top quality...got it new for like $800. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chirpy_72 Posted March 13, 2006 Members Share Posted March 13, 2006 I've got a 30" Sony HDTV in my bedroom, and it's a perfect size for a smaller room, but I think it would be a little small for a large living room ... then again I'm kinda spoiled since I have a Sony 55" HDTV in my living room.

Members walfordr Posted March 13, 2006 Members Share Posted March 13, 2006 I don't own a TV of any size. If I want to watch a movie I go to the theatre. If I want to watch a game I go to the local bar. If I want to see live music I go to a club. News comes from the internet. Everything else on TV is mind blowingly dull.Try it, you might like it.

I bought a floor model Samsung 26" widescreen for $579 from Circuit City last year, and it looks awesome when we watch HDTV broadcasts and DVDs. Samsung tube TVs (with built in HDTV tuners) are one of the cheapest ways to get High Definition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dicky sofa Posted March 13, 2006 Members Share Posted March 13, 2006 Get a 42" plasma (or LCD) or bigger with HD built in... Thank me later... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rhino bucket Posted March 13, 2006 Members Share Posted March 13, 2006 30 is big enough, and the cheaper the better. i've got a 50 something HD projection, 27 inch tube, and a way old 20 inch tube. i watch the damned old 20 inch more than any of them, picture quality doesn't really matter that much when there is only one tv in a room. if you wanna go big, take a look at projectors that show on a screen or wall. wish i would have gotten that over my big screen.
