Choosing the right one for you...

These big screen TVs can take up a lot of space so it is a good idea to work out just how much room you have before purchasing. The screens themselves go up to 73 inches not to mention the width of the whole set itself! Work out how much floor space you have before you race out and buy the biggest one you can get your hands on, and plan on around 7-9 feet distance between yourself and the set for optimal picture quality.
