The picture-window-sized televisions that are common today look ridiculously large and tacky in a living room, IMO. I'd never buy one.

- twic 8y agoI'm with you on this, but numerous people i've said this to have snorted at it. Either it's a minority opinion, or people with massive tellies are so invested in having disfigured their homes that they can't admit it. Anyway, i painted a wall silver-grey and bought a projector.
- ghaff 8y agoThey’re probably too big for some rooms they’ve been retrofitted to. When I added a room a few years ago I explicitly kept a space for a wall- mounted TV. I often use it as effectively a big digital picture frame if I’m not actively watching something on it.
- SmellyGeekBoy 8y agoThe strange pattern I've noticed is that the size of the TV is inversely proportional to the wealth of the owner.
- SmellyGeekBoy 8y agoIt amazes me when I drive past some of the houses in my street and people are sitting 5 feet in front of a 60" TV.
- rconti 8y agoIsn't that the necessary viewing distance to distinguish 4k anyway? I often hear people make the opposite scoff, that people sit too far from their TVs to take advantage of the resolution they're paying for. I've got a 75" 4k about 10 feet from me right now. Plus it has the added advantage of being only about 15-18 feet from our dining room table, which means if we throw a game or the news on it during dinner, we don't have to squint to see the scores. Most of the use of the TV is OTA (we don't have cable TV) but plenty of Netflix/Amazon/Apple/HBOGo type stuff. That said, we use it like old people; leave the news on as we do other things in other rooms. We don't have any shows we religiously watch.
