Buying an HDTV? Get all your questions answered at hhgregg.com

Wednesday, November 18, 2009 by hhgregg Product Expert


If you are planning to upgrade your TV (and your living room along with it), think HDTV. At hhgregg we answer practically every question or doubt you may have regarding HDTV or anything even remotely connected to it.

For instance, how big should the screen be? What is the optimum distance between your couch and your HDTV? After all the screen size is the most important decision when it comes to buying an HDTV.

The optimum size really depends on how big your room is and how far the seating area is from your TV. If you sit too close to the screen you'll notice pixels or scan lines and have an interrupted view. On the other hand, sitting too far away will diminish the overall impact and can cause eyestrain. As a general guide, for every 10 inches of screen size there should be 2 feet of distance between the TV and your viewing area. For example, the best viewing of a 50" TV would be 10 feet from the screen.
