Walk into any store and you\u2019ll find an 85-inch TV<\/a>, sparkling and looking all 4Kish. \u201cThis is what I need,\u201d screams your brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWell not if you have a living room the size of a TV that big.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So how do you choose the right size screen?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Simple, the 1.5x to 2x rule.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- With a 55 inch TV, your seating should be at 6.5 to 8 feet PR distance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- For a 65-inch, it is always better to aim for 8 to 10 feet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- 75-inch or 85-inch? In this case, 10 feet or more between the screen and sofa is a must.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Less space means not cramming a screen into a small space. A giant TV will bring down the experience and ruin the aesthetic, making your room boxy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Purchasing LED Screens without Knowing What You\u2019re Buying<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nNot all screens are created equal, and all \u201cLED TVs\u201d surely are not the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most first time buyers think: LED is cheaper, OLED is expensive, and QLED is somewhere in between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s welcome a new contender in the ring \u2013 Mini LED. If you are on the hunt for jaw-dropping visuals that won\u2019t put a dent to your wallet, your search ends here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why Mini LED?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Offers better contrast than standard LED screens<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Brighter than OLED Displays<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Withstands Indian conditions like dust, heat and power outages better<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
