LCD (liquid crystal display) TVs have pretty much replaced old style CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) television sets. A high definition (HD) lcd tv offers a better, clearer picture at high resolution with outstanding colour. These TVs also occupy hardly any space with an ultra slim body and sleek and stylish design. The flat screen design enables the TV to be mounted on any wall.
When purchasing a TV of this type, you need to consider factors such as resolution, contrast ratio and screen size. Bigger screen sizes offer a better viewing experience but it is pointless buying a 50 or 65 inch LCD TV when you don’t have a room large enough for you to sit and view from a comfortable distance. It is important to gauge the right distance that you should sit from the TV when watching it. Sitting too close will strain and stress your eyes and also makes the images look pixilated and not very pleasant to look at. As an example, for a 32 inch lcd TV you should sit a minimum distance of 6-8 feet from the screen, while for a 65 inch LCD TV you should have at least 16-18 feet of distance from the TV screen.
In most cases, a 32 inch TV is the best option for small to medium sized room. It isn’t too small that images lack in detail, nor is it too big to accomodate a comfortable viewing position. Obviously a bigger screen size would not only occupy larger space, but would cost more as well. And bigger the screen, the more away you would have to sit from it, and that can prove to be cumbersome in limited spatial options.
When purchasing a 32 inch TV it is best to get a set that displays full high definition, which equates to a resolution of 1080 pixels. Samsung has a good reputation as an affordable manufacturer of HDTVs, and a Samsung 32″ TV represents a good balance of features and price.
