Often we will get questions on what size of TV to purchase with the answer commonly being "go big or go home". beer

I'm also swithering between a 55 and 65 inch TV and interested in what others actually have in their main viewing room.

I suspect the number of people with a main TV smaller that 65 might actually be quite large, but at least this will allow all the powerfully built directors to list what they have and get some bragging rights! cool

Hope you can post yours below and your interest level (big TV/film watcher or hardly watch much).

Many thanks in advance.

I would have done this as a poll if I knew how!

Many thanks.

Thanks for all the responses - very helpful.

I'll hypothesis that that question is actually two-fold:

1. How big to do want the TV to be when it's being used (for immersion)
2. How big do you want the TV to be when it's not being used (so it doesn't dominate the room)

and for me a key thing is probably the ratio between the time it's turned off and the time it's on (compromise on one for the other).

Also the other thing is assuming people are going large at 4k (and above?) then how much content is currently available and what the screen looks like with the majority of 1080p content if view large and close up.

Perhaps another few years yet before the larger screens come into their own with more content readily available.
