Plasma TV Sizes
Be aware, these TV's are a widescreen format. They take advantage of movies that are shown in widescreen or with the high definition resolution of TV. When you do watch a normal television broadcast, it will be shown in a 4:3 format, which leaves empty space on the sides of the picture. An example is a 32 inch LCD screen that broadcasts in normal, non high definition broadcast, will display the picture in a 26 inch format. That means you lose 6 inches of real estate of your TV.
To determine the size of the TV, measure the distance between your viewing areas between the consumers and where the TV is positioned.
Take these areas of distance for guidelines for the size of the television:
32 inch - 40 inch - 6 – 12 feet
42 inch - 50 inch - 10-14 feet
50 inch - 60 inch - 12 -16 feet
61 inch - 80 inch - 15 -20 feet
