Bedroom HDTVs

Is the old TV in your bedroom about to fade away? Considering a newer and slimmer replacement? What would be your best option for a small room?

That old clunker weighs a ton and has to go? There are so many choices when it comes to mid-sized (20 to 32 inches) flat screen TV’s, here’s what to look for.

First take a look at the room that will be the host of the unit. Size and brightness is important. Also don’t neglect to measure the distance from which you will be watching TV most frequently. For a bedroom, calculate the distance between your headboard and the TV’s placing. For example in a 12 by 16 master bedroom, where you will be 9 to 10 feet away, a 32 inch set would be ideal. For a guest room perhaps a 26 inch one will be sufficient.

Also, take importance in the content that you will be watching. Will you mainly watch movies or news or sit-coms? This is important as the quality, mainly the resolution and contrast of the set will play a big factor. Don’t forget to grab as well a receiver for that TV.

When it comes to choosing a set, you can usually save money by buying a lesser known or budget brand since this is a secondary unit that will see less usage time and therefore last longer, since TV longevity is calculated by hours of use. Expect to spend roughly 400 to 600 dollars for the TV.
