Yeah, oddly enough, TVs and monitors are measured in inches diagonally even in Europe.
However, in the aforementioned scenario (buying a new TV), the correct answer is always: "the biggest you have".
- shiroiuma 3y agoSame in Japan, though they're usually not called "inches". So my TV size is "65 series". But "the biggest you have" is not the right answer for TV size: if your room is small and your TV is too large, it's uncomfortable to view it. The TV needs to be sized according to the viewing distance. Usually, this isn't an issue for most people: too-large TVs are usually outside their budget. But this is changing, as bigger and bigger TVs become less expensive.
- imp0cat 3y agoYou are right. What I mean by that comment is that people might come to a store and think: "Wow, this 65" TV is huge, I don't need that". But they are forgetting that when watching a movie, a lot of screen space is unused, because the aspect ratio is different (those black bars on the top and bottom). So, if you can fit the TV somewhere, it's always a good idea to pick a larger one than you think you need.
