Fantastic. Thanks for the heads up beano. I have a 6 series in my bedroom 37" and Galaxy tab 3. 2 questions beano my living room ain't that big i have 42" tv an LG. Which i have had for 4 years now. Would 40" be ok?. And second question the football mode have you noticed any blur when watching football? iv'e not seen any blur on my 6 series
Well, each to their own but I sit 9ft from a 55" and it's perfect for me. When I see people's 32" TVs in the living room it's almost impossible to watch them because they feel like an iPad!I roughly sit about 8 feet from my TV 40-42" is fine for that distance any thing above looks out of place IMO. my friend has 50" in his living room and doesn't even sit 8 feet from the tv and it looks stupid. I think we get the right tv for the room and not to show off the size and the tv. We got to think of our eye's also
Sure you can SEE it, but I mean you dont get that immersive cinematic experience at those sizes at that distance. According to most viewing distance guides (which should be taken with a pinch of salt anyway) 8-9 feet is ideal fo 55" or even 60"+I you can't see a 40" or 42" TV from 8 feet or 9 feet away you must be pretty much blind lol
Thanks buddy! I mean once you go big you can never go back. Amazing how quickly you get use to the cinematic experience and can't settle for less, ain't it!Agree with Loopthrough, i sit seven feet away from my 55" sometimes only 2-3 feet.
I would try the H6200 uses AUO panels in the 50" and 55" sizes and according to the DigitalVersus review is pretty damn fine, very similar to Sony's W7 and W8 series, possibly sharing the panel or a variant of it. Or, just go for the 50" W829, which would be my personal recommendation unless you have specific requirement for the Samsung models.Very interesting review. I just returned a 48" H5000 as the dse was atrocious. Not to mention motion blur watching football. I'm wondering if the H5500 is blessed with a better panel?! The H6400, which I now have, is a huge improvement though dse is still evident to a lesser degree. The debate about screen size is also interesting. There was a time when I thought 37" would be absurdly big! Now I'm thinking 48" is a tad small.
I think there is a massive prejudice towards any TV which is over 50" based on our assumption (often wrong) that it is outlandishly big. The fact is, we can sit a lot closer to screens of this size and not only enjoy the detail but actually see an improvement over smaller sets.
I think the problem arises when a living rm's 'aura' is dominated by the sheer scale of a TV. A room which might be used for socializing and reading as well as watching TV might not benefit from such a monstrosity! Even if HD content is best enjoyed at extremely large sizes.
Quite a modern conundrum methinks!
