How Big is Your Telly?

[iva cosworth]

42" here,that's plenty.

[callyman]

55" here, wall mounted and doesn't look big at all as I'm sat 15' from it.

Wall it's on is 13' wide so suits the wall/room size well.

[KrazyIvan]

100" projector TV Room
43" living room
42" bedroom
2x 32" in the kids room

[StuntmanMike]

Lounge 40"
Family room 40"
Bedroom 28"
Kids have a 32" each.
Just realised I have 5 T.V s in the house, which is ironic as I rarely watch the bloody things.

[Snozzwangler]

24 inches.

We don't own a screwdriver so can't attach it to the wall.

I bought it from John Lewis so I could call and get all snooty if it breaks.

64", was thinking about a 78", but apparently that is not likely...

Sex is overrated anyway, go for it

I have a samsung 64" which seemed massive when I got it 2 years ago but now seems normal

When 42" plasma was first available I was in that currys just off J9 on the M6

They had one in there, I'd never seen anything like it, must have been 15-20 years ago, I asked the salesman for a price £25,000

Within a year hey were down to £5,995

In costco last week I saw a 90" for £9995

[Axionknight]

47" in the living room and the same again (identical TVs) in the conservatory, which is my makeshift man cave!

[Hythan]

40" In the living room.

20" In the bedroom, but we move it literally to the end of the bed so plenty big enough, if we're actually watching something on it, which we don't often do.

Our TV in the living room is a few years old now, and I'm really liking the current models with the smaller frame. TO be honest though, there is no need to change it so we'll keep it a couple more years I should think.

Whilst we're on the subject, how many of you have actually wall mounted your TV? Why do so many put them so high up on the wall like they are hanging a painting? Does it not annoy you to have to look up at it when watching? I've never done it but don't see the appeal. Is it just to get it out of the way?

Mine is, and always will be, eye level with me sitting on the sofa.

I actually downsized from a 42" (thick border) to a 39" (thin border) as our main TV as the 42" was just a little too big for the space - I don't really notice the difference in viewing and the set looks much more in keeping with the room.

I have recently picked up a projector and screen though (for less than the cost of a decent 50" TV) and can now project 3D/1080p on a portable screen of over 100" and that is like sitting in a cinema, just without the adverts and general public.

[J4CKO]

55 in one room, 40 in the other, 37 in my man shed.

[FlossyThePig]

Two 32" (drawing room and sitting room) an one 24" (bedroom). As marketing people add the power of all channels on 5-1 systems can I say I have an 88" TV viewing experience.

[page3]

86" screen + projector.

I don't have a traditional television.

If you want to know what 12" in bedroom feels like

snigger.

[RobinBanks]

I don't know. I would say 26" or 28". It's also CRT and I only use it to watch Top Gear (very occasionally other shows)
It was free and it works so I never bothered to replace it. I think I will change it soon though because it takes up a lot of space and better TVs are so cheap now.

[Jezzerh]

40" in the lounge. It's still working and I'm not replacing it unless it breaks. Massive tellies are for council houses where people don't talk to each other.

22" in the conservatory

32" in three of the bedrooms.

37" in the other bedroom, which is xbox room.

And having six(!) TVs in the house isn't?

But most impressively I'm in control of a full 12" in the bedroom.

Lucky bugger!

[Hoofy]

28" in the living room. If the kids want a TV in their rooms, well, they can bloody well exist first.

[Blown2CV]

42" but it's prob about 7 years old now, and that was a reasonable size then. The spot where it sits in the lounge can't really accommodate anything much larger, and tbh even though i work in technology i couldn't really give that much of a st. Most of the guys i work with wax lyrical about their 'home rig', all the streaming devices and services, new tv series from america (at the rate of several a week) and their multiple games consoles... i have sky HD and couldn't give a fk about any of that. I watch TV programmes that people banged on about 3-5 years ago, once they've all shut the fk up about them and i can enjoy them in peace! Currently watching the first series of both breaking bad and game of thrones.

[sticks090460]

I have 2 42", but left my screwdriver in John Lewis.
