Big telly in bedroom - will it look stupid ?

[Smudge]

We went the opposite in our house. We had a 40" TV a few years back but when my sister was having trouble with her TV we gave it to her and went back to a 32". Our living room isn't that big at 15' by 13' and the 40" just seemed to dominate the corner of the room. We did try to get something in between but couldn't find anything between 32" and 40".

My son OTOH has just bought a 50" for his flat and it makes a huge difference to him because he is partially sighted.

I must admit, my 50" tv still looks big when its not on..... Its a big feck off black rectangle on the wall in my smallish lounge.
But it all makes sense when i turn it on and watch something on it.

Study the body language of your bedroom visitors, it shouldn't be too difficult to analyse their reactions.

You suggesting he has a load of visitors to his bedroom?

Perhaps something is getting lost in translation.

I have found the size of the TV is immaterial, the programmes are just as bad on a 50" as they are on a 22".

Nice to see TVs have not gone metric!!

And hope that they aren't too interested in/impressed by the telly?

Distinctly lower middle class

I can't get past the un-sandaled feet.

Even a big TV can't make Casualty worth watching.

Instead of buying a bigger TV would it not be cheaper and easier to just move closer to your existing one?

Or the shite that he's watching.

When I was a kid we used to go to the local cinema and sit in the front row because it was dirt cheap. We were only about 8 feet from the screen and had to crane our necks back to look up it.

You could get a job in the newspapers as a personal finance adviser, you'd save UK householders a fortune.

As others have said, you get used to whatever tv size after a really short while. The problem is, that you can't go smaller after.
I have a 40" flatscreen in the bedroom, which i never use. But when the 50" in my lounge had a prob and it was away being repaired under warranty, moving the 40" into my lounge it looked ridiculously small.

Ah, that explains it now, and ex girlfriend once said to me, 'sorry but once you've had a big one you can't go back.'

I don't know if she was talking about the bedroom specifically though.
