Tips for choosing the ideal TV size

There are many characteristics that we must take into account when buying our new TV. In the market we find variables to take into account as inches, resolution, design, functions...; in this case the big donkey... does not work, depending on the use and the room in which it is going to be placed, we will have to acquire a type of television or another one.

Fundamental: angles and resolutions.

In the same way that in a room of two square meters we will not put a 60-inch plasma, and in a living room of 35 square meters we will not enjoy a 20-inch TV; we must find the TV that allows us to enjoy the feeling of immersion as if we were in front of the TV.

In relation to the size, the basic thing is the visual angle and resolution. First of all we must be clear that when manufacturers talk about size they are referring to the length of the diagonal of the screen, in inches. The step to centimeters is one inch = 2'54 centimeters; to guide you we will tell you that a 40-inch TV is almost a meter (exactly 101'6 centimeters).

The angle of vision is fundamental at the moment of choosing the size idea of our new TV, since it indicates the distance at which we will have to place it. This distance is affected by the horizontal angle that the camera with which the image has been taken, that is to say; the ideal viewing is achieved when the horizontal angle of the screen is equal to the one that the camera supports to make the shot.

On the other hand, as we have said, something fundamental to know the size of television that we need, is the resolution. It is also simple to understand, the lower the resolution, the lower the number of pixels and, therefore, the lower the image quality. For example, with a 4K Ultra High Definition TV (3840 x 2160 resolution) the quality will be higher because it has four times more pixels.

Manufacturers' ideal distance.

As will have happened to you when buying a car or in other branches of technology, surely you have gone to the manufacturer's base information, in this case we find the following data of the most relevant brands.
