Tv size for gaming

[Needanewadventure2021]

Hi

I am looking for advice please. My son has a small room. Abit bigger than a box room. He has 90cm at the foot of his single bed and the width of opening a wardrobe door to the side so not a great deal of space.

His main Christmas present this year is a TV for his room. I've been thinking a 32 inch telly will be absolutely fine, but now quite a few people are saying it won't be any good for gaming on a TV of that size. Is that true? He is a Gamer. It will be used more for gaming that it will be for watching the telly in all honesty.

Looking for a full HD smart TV but people are worrying me about a 32 inch being too small for gaming. I could try and work at a slightly bigger one but I cant see right how how it will fit in the space. I cant even get a unit to fit the usable space in the gap (Radiator and window in the way)

Thanks for any help

Im 21, and I game, and use my little Roku TV for it, which is a 32 inch. I've also played on my roommates' huge smart tv. Really there is very little difference and it'll probably be a hassle to put a huge tv in a small room anyway. My friends from college all have 32 inch TV's in their dorms (not all Roku, but personally I think rokus are great) and they have switches and Xboxes that they use them for. I can't really imagine any big advantages to a bigger TV that would justify buying and paying that kind of money for one just to use mostly for gaming. Also a TV is an amazing Xmas gift in general, no matter what size so your son is lucky to be getting such an awesome gift.

What does your son think of that screen size? Is there a way to wall mount it, or switch out a wardrobe for a chest of drawers for the TV to sit on or another way to rearrange furniture to make more space if that's important? Maybe if a larger size is important to him then he can help to problem solve, or maybe he'd be happy with a smaller screen.

Who is saying this to you? If they are randoms on the internet then I'd take it with a grain of salt; I'd assume it's similar to people who say you can't have a good cup of coffee without spending £3000+. But if it's people you know in real life I'd worry that they might sour the present for your son so would try to nip that line of discussion in the bud.

Thanks for your replies.

My son is only 7 so I can't see him complaining at all. Though we had a quick look earlier in the shop so I could gauge size and he said a 65 inch TV was perfect. Made me laugh.
He has never been around a TV smaller than 50 inches to be fair so of course anything smaller is going to seem small but he has never had one in his room and he knows space is limited.

The room can't really be changed round. Wardrobes are fixed. I could swap his bed to the other side but I'd lose about 20cm of floor space which in a small room is pretty huge.

I saw a 40 inch earlier. That's the maximum I'd be looking at anyway and my budget is around 250 so I'm not looking at anything high end. The size of the box though looked like it would be more than fine. But when I got home the dimensions on the box (from a photo) looked huge on the tape measure. I'm so confused. When I saw it in the shop I thought that will easily fit. Maybe I need to take a tape measure in to the shop to make sure it's the same lol.
