Your Telly

fergiesfolly

We have 37 inch telly image averaged sized living room and it suits us fine. It doesn't take over the room but it's big enough to watch anything on it.
I've been in homes where there are 55-65 inch screens and they overwhelm the room, even when they're off.
So AHers, what size is your Telly( that's television, don't pretend you mis-read the title)? Is it a smart TV and do you actually use all the features?
Is it too big or not big enough?
Did you have buyers remorse when when you realised how big it was compared to the room it's in?

Massive TVs in small Irish living rooms is just so...low class :pac:

I'm watching a 22" as the room is small and the distance is too. Funny thing is that it work well as it means SD picture quality is acceptable. I'd imagine that a 55 incher in the average front room shows every one CM squared pixel of some channels.

Should only upper class people be allowed large TVs?

Worrying about other people’s TV is mrs Bucket level of social concern.

I have a 36 inch CRT.

I remember the first LCD TV I got & being disappointed with the picture on most channels.
Really stood out compared to the CRT it replaced

It looks shoddy, the kind of people of live in the shadow of their TV set (obviously with the "shop" settings still as default!) are the kind who holiday in Florida and have a patio heater.

40" TV I got back in 2010. That's about as big as the sitting room could accomodate without it looking ridiculous. Was in a DID or Currys lately as it now seems 40" screens are fired into the corner for the riffraff to look at. Its all 43" minimum now.

Replace telly with penis and this thread is a lot funnier

What amazes me is when people have the TV positioned on a wall above the fireplace so everyone has to look up and the screen surely gets covered in a layer of muck eventually.

Sharp 70 inch fitted with two satellite decoders and apple TV. I can sit about 4 meters away from it. Love it for watching sports.

Apart from size is there any advantage in a smart tv?

My TV has a mind of its own.

Especially if the small ones are all fired in the corner in Currys.

Replace TV with poo instead of penis and it's even better

Our last tv had a motion sensor and would go into standby if it didn't detect movement after a certain amount of time. Couldn't figure out how to switch off the feature and would have to wave at the telly to keep it going.
I started to resemble the old dears that wave to Marty Whelan when the lottery show starts.

Ours is 26inch. Never really saw the interest in a huge telly. Maybe if the place we live in was bigger than a 2 bed terraced house. We don't have Sky or anything but we have a chrome-cast and an Apple TV. I could easily do without a tv (and have done) but my OH "needed" one for his XBox. So here we are.

In my Mother's house she had a TV from 1990 in the sitting room until a few years ago.

Your television should match the size of your room.

I have a 14 inch Commodore 1084s monitor, do I win?

You guys do realise my original post was in jest, yes?

32 inches here. But enough about my television...

Wait, I'm doing this wrong.

49, but the chairs/couch are far away from it so it works.
