Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?

With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience. If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get. Minimum size = Viewing distance/3 Maximum size=Viewing distance/1.5

This review is from: VIZIO E550VL 55-inch Full HD 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV (Electronics) First off, this review is based on the TV, price paid, and features it has, i.e. “value for the money”. That said, this is a great TV with a good picture (but I have not done a side-by-side comparison with other HDTVs). Games play fine, not sure why others had problems…maybe they did not do the set-up correctly. TV does have a “Game” mode which is supposed to help any lag one might experience, and under advanced picture mode, you can set the “Smooth Motion Effect” to various levels. One of the main reasons I purchased this TV was that Vizio is one of the few manufacturers that list the power usage of their TVs without having to do a lot of searching, which was important to me. I have owned this TV for about a week. I noticed some reviews say this TV has poor side views. I do not see that at all, in fact i have never owned a LCD TV that has NO decrease in picture quality when viewed from the side until this one. The TV is advertized with a 178 degree viewing angle and i… Read more Help other customers find the most helpful reviews  <span Was this review helpful to you?  Report abuse | Permalink   Comments (3) 75 of 79 people found the following review helpful: Turn of Smooth Motion!, November 8, 2010 By  Rod – See all my reviews This review is from: VIZIO E550VL 55-inch Full HD 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV (Electronics) This is a good, low priced TV, no frills but a good basic big TV. The problems the other reviews talk about, with video lag and processing that takes away the film-look bothered me right away as well, and give the images a very weird effect. I thought maybe it was just me, or I wasn’t used to a good quality picture, but whatever it was was not good. I really noticed it with fast motion sports, a football in the air was jittery and choppy. But there is a solution – on the second page of the TV Picture setting (select “more” at the bottom of the first Picture screen) there is a setting called Smooth Motion. Turn it off, and turn the Smooth Motion DEMO off. Problem solved, no more lag, jitters, and the film grain is back in the image.

It looks amazing in hi def with broadcasts like Glee, Marriage Ref, or regular DVDs. Counter to the other reviews, The playstation looks awesome too, Full 1080P. I haven’t noticed unplayable issues of lag, & I game online all the time. There was lag when I went through my receiver first via HDMI enough to notice in guitar hero or rock band, so I plug in directly ps3 to TV now for video because of that. I can’t help but wonder if that kid knew how to hook up his game console. Hint: if it isn’t with an HDMI cable, then you aren’t seeing HiDef 1080 correctly. We’ve had nothing but jaw dropping fan reviews from our picture, people always want to come back and play/watch some more. Vizios also have ability to turn off speakers and have more adjustments to audio, this is good, as I rarely use the TVs speakers. Had a friend tell me his new Sony wouldn’t let him do that. Cons: this TV can see… Read more Help other customers find the most helpful reviews  <span Was this review helpful to you?  Report abuse | Permalink   Comments (3)
