How many inches to be a "big screen"? - Blu-ray Forum

bone crusher · 12-30-2008, 02:34 AM

At what size do you personally consider a tv to be a "big screen".

I have a 40" and just barelt consider it a big-screen. I'd say 40 inches and higher are big screens. What about you.

IMO, 46" and above is considered big screen. Just my two cents

Now days with 46 inches in bedroom's I would have to say nothing under 50 inch. That being said, my 60 inch seems small to me...

Yep, my 52" TV seemed so huge when I chose and purchased it a year ago but now it seems to be just standard in size.
Funny thing is I remember 10 years ago in 1998 when I saw the first flat screen TV in a store downtown, absolutely out of price and 40", I remember thinking how that TV was Huuuuuge back then.

Blu As Hell · 12-30-2008, 03:47 AM

A 120" will look like IMAX to me because it'll most likely be in my room.

+1

Surely ruins / spoils you for life. I started off with a 40'' bravia and thought that was it. Ever since i moved to a 133'' Da-lite screen with a Panny AX200 on the back wall, i'm never going back to TVs!!

In fact only thing on my radar next is the Panny AE3000!!

ixlegitballinxl · 12-30-2008, 04:21 AM

imo, 50+

usually the term "big screen" was used for rear projection tv's... really haven't heard many people say "big screen lcd or plasma"

50" plus, Maybe high-mid 40's, but really 50" and above.

HOME THEATRE ADDICT! · 12-30-2008, 04:44 AM

I started with a 32", then to 37", then 42" and now 50". I see a pattern here, a 60"+ would be nice!
