Would a 50″ LED DLP (1080p) be good for me?
I’ve saved up about $2000 to upgrade my old standard 27″ to a nice 1080p HDTV to go with my xbox360 and ps3 (and Blu-Ray movies, ps2, etc). I’m currently looking into a 50″ and I’m really kinda stuck as far as choosing which type of HDTV to go with. The space it’s going to fit into is an ikea entertainment unit with a space that measures 41″x30″x23″. I’ll be sitting in the middle of it (maybe sometimes at a 45° angle) about 6′ away at the most (I have a pretty small room). Is a 50″ too big? I just assumed that bigger is better, but will it affect my overall view? Besides that though, i just want a reliable TV that will deliver great picture (and sound, as I don’t have a separate sound system). I’m looking into the LED DLPs, as I don’t want to worry about burn in or changing lamp bulbs, and I hear they offer better picture quality than LCD tvs. As I said, it’ll mainly be for gaming and movie watching, but I do also watch a lot of TV. Can someone help point me in the right direction?
If you’re sitting only 6′ away, I would recommend a TV in the range of maybe 37″ at most. a 50″ TV from that close of a range will just be too much for your eyes, and end up being a waste of a TV essentially. With that money, you could get a 37″ and a decent surround sound system.
