32 inch tv too small aibu ?

[dererer]

I have a 32inch tv in living room,my friend said it's far too small for living room.
Is it? What size tv does everyone else have ?

I hate giant TVs. So ugly.

We don’t have a tv. Haven’t had one for twelve years.

Mine is 32 inch and is beginning to need replacing (doesn't have an hdmi slot). I'm seriously considering going smaller! I think those white compter monitor screens look so neat. I hate a living room being dominated by the TV, mine is small being a victorian terrace. And anyway I watch as much TV on my phone as I do on the TV itself, so if I'm happy with a 5inch screen, surely a 32 inch is mahoosive

I've got a 32" I think. Seeing as I'm sitting in the same room as it, not 20 metres away in tiered seating, it seems perfectly good enough.

A friend has some 60" (maybe bigger) monstrosity in her house and it feels like I need to watch from the garden because it's so bloody massively

Ours is 32", it needs replacing, but there doesn't seem to be much choice in the 32" range so putting it off.

It needs to fit a specific alcove, we don't watch much TV, and the space is awkward as it needs to fit around various HiFi things, network systems, speakers and amplifiers. DP is a HiFi geek & I don't really care.

32”. It’s 8feet away from the couch in my tiny living room. Could possibly get slightly bigger but nothing too large as my room is too small! My priority next time is a smart one. Don’t care about the screen size much at all.

Mine is 32 and too big I think, exh got it over 10 years ago, I was happy with our old smaller TV. When this one breaks I will buy smaller, I don't like TVs taking over a room.

My father bought himself a 75 inch monstrosity and decided to put his old 60 inch TV in my flat (I was living overseas at the time). It was nice of him but the TV is just too big and dominates the whole room.

But I can't get rid of it as he'd be upset. I much prefer my less domineering 42 inch TV that I brought back from living overseas. That now has to live in the bedroom. I'm waiting hopefully for my Dad's old TV to die and I can get rid of it.

I think your friend was rather rude OP. A 32 inch TV is fine. Have whatever size TV you want and tell your friend to mind her own business.

I have a 50 inch in a relatively small living room. At times it feels way to small and I want to replace it with a 65inch. 32 seems tiny.

My living room is 22ft*22ft and the 32" looks just fine in it. Fine to watch and in no way dominates the room. (DS's toys do that.)

65" in the living room & 49" in the bedroom.

I'm a sucker for a fancy TV

Mines 32" and it's fine.

I can't stand the idea of some bloody great big screen stuck halfway across one wall in the living room dominating the room.

Having said that, television isn't something I've ever been that fussed about. I've never had one in the bedroom nor in the children's bedroom when they were growing up.

Your friend's opinion isn't important. It's what you're happy with in your own home that's important.

Which have a calculator:

However I remember when the same calculator came up with much smaller sizes for the distance.

Its up to you. What do you want and what can you afford? Its nobody else's business and pretty rude to comment on it.

I think ours is 32 inch couldn't tell you and it's big enough thanks. I hate huge TVs and prefer huge bookcases 🤣 I don't like when the focal point of a room is a screen. Christ I'm starring to sound like my mother 🙈

*starting

My 32inch looks fine in my living room, but my living room is fairly small 🤷‍♀️

Which tells me I need a slightly bigger TV for my bedroom (I only have 19/20 inch) but 32 inch is perfect for my viewing distance in the living room!

Mines 28inch and I’ve been thinking of upgrading to 32 because I thought the old one was a bit small- although I bought it 12 years ago because it was big 🤣

It seems im wildly unambitious on the tv front.

32 is fine... I think it's ridiculous the size of tvs!!

Ours is 32 and us just fine.
I think the tv was on last Tuesday so it's not a big deal for us but I wouldnt want to be without one again.
I dislike TVs that dominate a room.

We have a 42inch. Any bigger and it wouldn’t fit in the alcove. Wouldn’t mind bigger but don’t particilarly want to put it on the wall

If you like it you like it. 43+ is about minimum

24 inch here in a biggish room, but I don't want or need a bigger one. It's not the focus of the room if it's smaller.

Sounds fine. Big tvs usually look a bit ridiculous anyway and can take over the room.

Ours is 32 inch and that's big enough.....,..I judge the neighbors who have 2, huge TVs in their living room. They must be at least 50 inches each, a TV in their dining room, one in the kitchen. And a huge one in each bedroom. (( Never been in there but I did have a nosy stalk on Rightmove ))
