i wish to buy a new lcd tv for my room (for gaming mainly)

It depends on seating position, 14x20ft means nothing if you are sat 6ft from the TV. If you are sat at the back either 14 or 20ft away then ideally you want 50+.

If you are sitting 20 feet from the screen you'll need a telescope to see what's going on 42".

from 20 feet you can probably fit a 200".

from 14".. a 150"

those numbers were just a rough estimate.. but I did research and checked the real numbers lol.

14" = 125"

20" = 180"

so yeah, your dimensions are greater than any size of TV... even the largest 152" Panasonic 4KHD TVs will fit into that room :D

so you could definitely go for a projector ^^

anyways, if you go for a tiny ass 42" you should sit 4.7 feet from the screen.

50" = you can sit 5.6 feet from the screen.

So by all means.. go 60+ or go for a projector @ over 100 inches.

Plasma, as well.Heirren

agreed 3 feet is close, 42" is dandy. If you go LED, do not get the edge lit models. Otherwise, get Plasma

i sit 2-3 feet from the tv i currently have a 26" sony lcd but i want a better experience so the LG in question is LK430 it has 60hz refresh rate 100000 : 1 contrast ratio full hd costs me around $700 and its in my budget should i go for it?blaze_adeel

The gap between plasma quality and LCD quality has widened further than ever before. Back in 05-07 it was a damn hard choice choosing between an LCD and a plasma. Sony and Samsung LCDs were as good as any plasma but the old Pioneer Kuros. in 2009-2011 plasma was the obvious choce offering better picture for less money, and now plasma is so far ahead high end LEDs are lagging behind mid range plasmas. I'l agree on the part about edge lit models. Edge-LED is garbage, backlit LED from Philips and Sony is pretty damn good, but its so expensive. Last year's Philips flagship performed ALMOST as well as Panasonic VT30 and Samsung PND8000, but cost twice as much as a 50/51" and was only 46" !!!

So should i go for plasma then i saw this 50" Panasonic plasma for 55000Rs. ( thats approximately $600 ) so should i go for that ?blaze_adeel
