no 37" tv's?

[hairyben]

Just looking for someone not tech-savvy who wants something a hit bigger than his 32 but the SWMBO doesnt want to run to a 40, thought there were loads of this size but cant find anything? Seems a bit odd for every manufacturer to abandon it even if its a niche size most dont want. Anyone help?

buy 40"

tell the missus it's 37"

show her the straight edge measurement

Excellent idea.

I have a 37" tv which is now several years old. It looks huge as the plastic bezel is several inches wide. I think a modern 40" would be smaller from corner to corner than that. Hope this helps

Tell her she's getting a 40 and that's that.

physical size of newer tv's is smaller than an old one with a larger bezel, i went from 37 to 48 and it's only a little bigger

My mum just bought a 40" Panasonic to replace her 11 year old 40" Sony. New one looks tiny in her front room!

In time she'll appreciate the extra inches.

But should he surprise her??

She told me that she loves 40 inches?

recently replaced a 37" TV with a 40" TV the new TV is smaller and lighter than the 10yo 37" TV, the bevel on the 37" tv is nearly 3"

The 32's actually not that old so quite slim bezel already.

I guess this confirms I'm not blind and there really is nothing between 32 and 40 then?

Replaced my 7 year old 37" Samsung with a 43" Samsung recently, the physical size is pretty much exactly the same, due to far thinner bezels on the 43".

What is it with women and TV's, when our 37" went pop I had her straightaway giving me hell; "you aren't getting this", "we don't need HD" (the old one was HD), "you can get a perfectly fine TV for £250", "you aren't getting something massive"!!!!

I didn't want a massive TV and actually the 43" is fine, hooked it up to Netflix, changed my subscription to 4K, what does she say "wow the picture is good, actually it's amazing"

Mrs Hairy has a baby grand piano. I dont think she'd want to get into a discussion on whats unecesarily oversized

And she did question whether a 325 would be "quite enough" but has since concurred after tooling around for a while my insistence on a 330 was the correct decision after all
