TV size for living room? Does anyone who has this 32" TV feel it's big enough, or too big?

hi, i have a similar size room, tried 26, 32 , and 37 inch. 32 is best. one thing not talked about often is, there's also a minimum viewing distance for these tvs, esp. 720p. any closer, you see the pixels, any noise in the image, etc. with a hq tv like samsung, sony, sharp, my experiments indicate for a 32" around 5 feet is about as close as i'd want to go. anything else, i'd have to go to 1080p (the sharp 32" aquos 1080p model is great up to 3 feet, but more $$). btw, right now you can pick up a samsung LN-T3242H at circuit city for $720 if you're a AAA member (you need to go to www.aaa.com/circuitcity to get a coupon code). this model is a level down from the 3253H but i picked one up yesterday and so far it seems pretty good to me. you can read about both models on amazon. good luck.

Yeah, I waited for months and finally pulled the trigger when it was that low. It's back up to 2350.00 now. On the last post I meant to say it jumped from 2144.99 to 2299.99 not 2999.99. I didn't mount it but I have it on my dvd/boxset cabinet and thanks to its wide base and it being fairly light (especially for the size) it works well. There are tons of wall mounts out there but most just say fits any LCD 32"-50" or something like that. I have never mounted a tv so I wouldn't be able to help you but just google it and you should find recommendations.

Hey Oleg, I was just wondering if you might give me/us an update on the TV. I'm about to pull the trigger on the same model/size as the one you bought and just wanted to know how satisfied you are with your purchase. Also was wondering how well the 3D works, if you would be so kind. Thank You!

No problem! I've noticed the TV "seems" bigger (or smaller) depending on where people prefer to sit in a movie theater AND how tall they are. We have the TV mounted on a wall, so this makes it feel like you're watching a moving painting. My wife is 5' tall and sits 12 feet away, directly facing the TV, she thinks it's perfect for watching her favorite shows, like Ugly Betty. She is 8 feet away when she uses the Nintendo Wii (and Fit for exercise) and thinks it's great. She prefers to sit no closer than the middle of the movie theater from the big screen. Sometimes I complain we're too far away... I'm 5'10", and sit 6-8 feet away, from a side viewing angle to watch TV shows. I think 50" is just right from this distance, but I also like to sit no farther away than the middle of the movie theater. When I use the Wii from 8 feet away, I wonder how a 58" would look. Some of my taller male friends think we should have gone with the 58", however, they sit so close in the movie theater, and prefer XBOX games, perhaps video games need to be closer? No matter who I've asked, nobody has commented that the TV is too big. Feel free to ask questions. We spent many days researching (in 2006 and again this time) and many hours planning the TV's placement, so we're happy to help. Enjoy your new TV!

Great no complaints from my perspective, the tv is fabulous but again that's only my opinion. Hope it helps! Ps I would buy it again

I think it's fine. Again, we have the 50 inch set and it's in our bedroom, which is a smaller master bed. The sound is just as good as our larger LG set, which is in the living room. I've had the TV now for some time and it's a great set. The colors are amazing for a set that was about $500. You cannot go wrong.

We have a >36" Samsung monitor on it that is heavier than most of the newer TVs. Works fine. The brackets adjust. As someone else noted, it should work for 32" but may be a bit big for that size TV.

I have the 32" smart tv and yes it has great picture quality. Operation , adjustments and operation are are the same as any basic operation on most units.

Hello, we have one and it has a 60" TV attached to it. Plenty stable. I don't see why you couldn't use it with a 32" but it is probably overkill.

Yes it's suitable for a 32" tv. I have it hooked up to a 55" tv and it works great. I think you will be happy with the sound quality this mid level sound system puts out.

I don't think it matters. We have a 32" and with the back brackets being adjustable it was an easy fit. Aesthetically, it begs for a bigger TV, but it accommodates a smaller one just as well. I hope this helps.

JohnI have a 32" flat panel in my 42-50 enclosure right now. Just center it. Looks fine. I then closed in the area around the TV where the void was with fish net and decorative sea ornaments. Got that idea from an enclosure in Paris.

Thanks! I've been looking at the TVs in stores and I really like this one. There is a Sony model that is one up from this one, but it costs about $500 more.

One question you should also consider - how much wider is the TV than the stand? Aesthetics may matter to you and the TV may be too large for the stand and may appear "top heavy." I have a 50" on mine, and the overall width of the TV is just a couple of inches shorter on each side (maybe 1 inch?), and has a nice "balance" to the look.

I am very happy with mine and you can move the TV left and right as well as up and down. You can't beat it for the price. I use mine for a 32" TV.

I'm getting this tv delivered on Tuesday, Dec. 2nd, 2008. This is going to seem huge compared to my 13 inch tv that's hooked up now. I'm glad that it's getting really good reviews. Is it hard to set up? Can I do it on my own? What length is the base? I'm planning on putting it on the table that my other tv is currently on. Would all I have to do is plug it in and connect it to my cable just like my tv is now?

Yes, i had a samsung 32" on mine, now there is a 42" on it... You will be fine
