TV size - 10ft viewing distance

signs · 10 Apr 2019 at 12:07

thing is tho , most supersized tv's in country are always going to be expensive because the majority of homes can't accommodate them . i have 65 inch in the main living area but i could go to 85 and it still look fine , but i also have a dedicated cinema room , i would never consider having a projector for main viewing .

... 65" prices should be dropping with the new v10 oled factories online, with bigger mother glass sheets, like the 55" already did,
so maybe good to hold, and once the oled prices drops the (overpriced?) large qled will be forced to fold too.

... with the near edgless designs, and, if you had a high end multimedia PC, could you mounts two 55's portrait ?

I would go at least 75"

Indeed.

I paid the best part of 25k each for my LG G6's, now a better TV can be had for under 6k, all in the space of a few years.

I cannot imagine, not with all the world's wealth, ever paying fifty thousand quid for two hyper-depreciating TVs. Wow.

Never mind a projector its ideal for one of those new LG rollup TV's coming this year

75'' Sony XF90 is very close in price to the 65'' C8. Just sayin'

75" is probably the biggest you can go without prices becoming ridiculous

My main sofa is 10ft from the wall and have a Sony 75XF9005 going up, hopefully, this weekend.

If I get it done, I'll take a pic.

Size is everything. I don’t think you can ever have a TV that’s too big!

I can't even get £50 2nd hand for my £1800 42" panny plasma that i'm trying to shift!! ( 10 years old right enough)

Wow, that’s a shame - is it a PZ80? I’ve had 2 Panasonic plasmas of that era and they’re fantastic sets. My 50” V20 is still going strong and has finally been wall mounted in its new home!

PX70 - no option to wall mount - Got £75 for it in the end, including the stand ! Great TV -

The problem with going bigger is it not that the screen is to big it that it over powers the room to much and specially if you also have extra speakers either side of it....

I have my 65" in my 9 x 12 room

Any other models I should be considering at this price point?

65" Wallpaper TV would look great on that wall

(It may cost more but it maybe well worth the extra outlay)

See anttielei pictures from AVforum for a nice clean setup ( Sometimes i wish I went for the wallpaper TV myself for a beautiful clean setup like this

)

Found it hard to find a suitable stand that would complement the slimness of wallpaper TV while still being able to fit in all the devices nicely. Literally, 7,90€ Lack benches from IKEA did the job perfectly.

The G6 was 77". The C8 77" is under 6k now, and is considerably better overall. Big price drop in only a few years.

How far awawy do you sit, i'm tring to convince the mrs 13 foot is too far away for our current 60" and i want a 75"(or more

).

Depends on which room. For casual viewing in the lounge between 12-15' (seat depending). In the snug about 8', maybe a touch under.

Actually after reading up owners views on the wallpaper TV I would not recommend it due to the sound system it comes with is meant to be pretty weak sounding and very hard or impossible to upgrade
