How To: Pick the Perfect Sized Flat Panel Television for Your Room

As a professional TV installer for Northwest Digital Media, a flat panel TV installation company serving Seattle and Portland, I've seen countless customers struggle with picking the right size TV for their room.

It can be a tricky decision, as choosing a TV that's too small can result in poor viewing experiences, while selecting a TV that's too large can overwhelm your space. In this post, we'll explore how to pick the perfect flat panel television size for your room:

1. Consider Your Room Size:
   The first step to picking the perfect flat panel television size is to consider your room size. You want to make sure your TV is large enough to provide an immersive viewing experience, but not so large that it dominates the room. Measure the distance between your TV wall and seating area, and use that distance to determine the appropriate TV size. As a general rule of thumb, you'll want a TV that's at least half the distance of your seating area.
   
   
2. Determine Your Viewing Needs:
   Next, consider your viewing needs. Will you be using your TV primarily for movies and sports, or will it also serve as a gaming station? If you're planning to use your TV for gaming, you may want a larger screen to fully immerse yourself in the experience. For movie and sports enthusiasts, a smaller screen may suffice.
   
   
3. Know Your Resolution:
   When it comes to TV size, resolution also plays a role. If you're interested in a 4K TV, you'll want a larger screen size to fully appreciate the detail and clarity of the picture. However, if you're satisfied with a 1080p resolution, a smaller screen may suffice.
   
   
4. Consider Your Room Layout:
   Finally, take your room layout into consideration. A larger TV may be appropriate for a room with a wide layout, while a smaller TV may be more appropriate for a room with limited wall space. Additionally, if you plan to mount your TV on the wall, ensure you have the necessary wall space to accommodate the TV size you want.

In conclusion, picking the perfect flat panel television size requires careful consideration of your room size, viewing needs, resolution, and room layout.
