TV Size and resolution

I currently have a 32 inch 720p Seiki TV that I play both my ps3 and ps4 on. I played my ps4 on a 1080p TV and was surprised at how good the game looked.

I sit close to my TV, usually about 3 to 4 feet from the screen. I was thinking about buying a 24 inch 1080p because of the cheap price.

Would this be a good idea or should I stick with my 32 inch 720p TV?

I would recommend getting a 1080p TV, but not a 24in. Try to get at least a 32 if you can.

haha thats funny man, my TV since 2010 has been a 32'' 720P TV, received it as a gift from a black friday sale almost 5 year ago still works pretty well. Games look good on it, I didn't even know it was only 720 instead of 1080 until I looked up my Tvs model number last week . I got my Ps3 at pretty much the same time I got that TV, so I played a lot of Ps3 games on it and never had a problem. I will say that I always use a chair and sit fairly close to the TV though, since its only 32''. Especially with a game like the Witcher 3 where all of that menu text is so damn small on the TV is annoying lol.

Was looking at its stats last week because I'm getting a new 65'' 1080P TV in only a couple of weeks.

Well anyways, with TV sizes and different resolution TVs, the issue almost always comes down to viewing distance (how far you sit away from the TV). There's an ideal viewing distance for commercial size TVs and its different depending on the size and resolution here you go : http://www.rtings.com/tv/learn/size-to-distance-relationship . Strangely enough not many people are aware of this and many too far from a small-ish TV (less than 40'' for a modern flatscreen I'd say) and some people sit a bit too close but I think that's a less common phenomenon given how a lot of people's living rooms are set up (especially if its an old living room where furniture never moved in a couple decades, people went from CRT to flastscreen but didn't adjust their viewing distances accordingly to update in resolution of thier TV)

My bedroom in my apartments only about 10 feet x 10 feet haha. So for example using that website I just linked, with my 720p TV 32'' my ideal viewing distance would be 6.2 feet , which is pretty much the distance between th TV on a its stand against the wall to pretty much where the edge of my bed is. So I usually just prop a chair against edge of bed and I'm good..

With the 1080P 65'' TV (that's going in my living room) , the ideal viewing distance is about 9 feet away from the TV.

There's actually a lot of 4K tvs around now in most major electronics stores. But there's a really small amount of content that is actually produced in 4K so you would be getting "upscaled" 1080p in 99% of what you watch most likely. It'll probably be more worth it in couple of years when there's a lot more content in 4K. 1080p is definitely still the normal standard now that almost everyone puts their content in.

I play on a 24 inch 1080p 160 ghz monitor. Monitors are the best for call of duty.

39'' 1080 p...

HUGE upgrade from the 720p...

Well Worth every Penny...

I got a 42 inch 1080p HDTV that I got a few years ago, its a plasma TV and holds up well.

If you wish to buy a 24" 1080p monitor that would work just fine, I have one in my bedroom when everyone are sleeping with good headphones. It plays and looks phenomenal. ;)

@jetpack:

Upgrade to at least 1080p. I never even bothered with 720p, it was an entirely skippable resolution sold to people that didn't know better. I've been HD since the PS2/Dreacmast/Gamecube/Xbox days. Retailers try to trick people into buying HDTVs on black friday, but give 720p junk out every year.

You've seen the 1080p results yourself recently on that 1080p HDTV.

Also, don't get a smaller HDTV than you have. If you have a 32 inch, then get another 32 inch or bigger. Don't settle for a tiny screen while you are upgrading.

40 inches is an ideal size

24" is fine - if used as a "monitor". Those screens are too small for use at a distance. if you plan on gaming right in front, like you would a PC, then 24" 1080p is fine. Perfectly happy with my 1080p 24" monitor. But I would never use it "as a TV" with me sitting on a couch or even a chair a little ways away. It is really intended for you to be sitting right there.

Keep in mind: 1080p is not 1080 "pixels per inch" or something. It is vertical pixel count on the display - whatever size that display happens to be. A small 1080p screen has more pixels per inch than a big one. This means that a 50" 1080p screen is going to look much much worse than a 24" 1080p screen if you are sitting 30" away from it. But a 50" at __ feet away will look like a 24" at 30" away.

So it's not really the size that matters, so much as the size*viewing distance interaction.

50 inch Samsung smart tv
