I need a new tv for my loving room. the room is long but kind of narrow -- maybe 11 or 12 feet wide. (I can measure for you later if you want.) I'm

mounting my tv on the wall. the thing (furniture item) under the TV is 52" wide and there's plenty of wall space on either side.

I think I want 60" but I could fit 65". in terms of overwhelming the room, how much tv is too much tv?

Responses:

11 to 12 feet wide sounds about right for a TV. -- nm - Mop Jul 21, 07:37
60 vs 65 with those parameters is all about money. How much is that extra 5" worth and how much will it cost? -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 21, 07:36
you should get a 13" and make everbody sit really close and snuggle while they watch -- nm - decline Jul 21, 07:32
The 60" would likely be most excellent. I'm with groiny in thinking the 65" might be a scootch too big. - Shaun Jul 21, 07:32
how far away will the farthest person be sitting.. or where will you normally be sitting. - colin Jul 21, 07:20 1
- closest viewing should be the width of the display, so if you'll be too close normally, don't go so big. -- nm - colin Jul 21, 07:21
I'm going to leave this one for wiggie.... -- nm - David Jul 21, 07:17
I think 65 might be pushing it a bit, IMO. -- nm - groiny Jul 21, 07:12 4
- do you guys want me to measure to be exact? I mean, it's just a question of finding a tape measure... -- nm - fabulous squad Jul 21, 07:13 2
  - keep in mind, you are not going to be flush against the opposite wall watching. - groiny Jul 21, 07:15 1
    - Right, cut off about 2' total from the width to be safe and then figure out the TV size. -- nm - Krusty Jul 21, 07:31
- Go Big Or Go Home. 80"--bare minimum. -- nm - ML Jul 21, 07:13
more info: your average 60" tv is about 54" wide and a 65 is 58ish inches. also, the only reason I am considering 65 - fabulous squad Jul 21, 07:12 1

it's awesome you have a loving room -- nm - decline Jul 21, 07:11 1

How far away from the TV do you plan on sitting? -- nm - Krusty Jul 21, 07:07 5
- couch on opposite wall from TV, so the entire width of the room. -- nm - fabulous squad Jul 21, 07:10 2
  - Here are recommended distances based on the size of your TV. - Krusty Jul 21, 07:11 1
    - I'd go as big as possible based on how far I was going to be sitting from the TV. After that you just have to decide on a model. - Krusty Jul 21, 07:12
- For 60" and above you want to be at least 7' or more from the TV. -- nm - Krusty Jul 21, 07:09
- Yeah, this is the main issue. You don't want to see individual pixels. -- nm - spamlet Jul 21, 07:08
How long is the room? -- nm - sycor Jul 21, 07:07 1
- it's curiously long (16 feet?) and looks even longer because of a sort of "breakfast nook" that's connected to it. -- nm - fabulous squad Jul 21, 07:09
