There are all kinds of screen sizes to choose from, but you might find yourself immediately drawn to the largest options available. While a super-sized TV might seem like a great idea, you need to make sure you have appropriate space to accommodate such a display.<\/p>\n<p>In order to find an appropriate screen size for your living room space, there are a few major things you should be sure to consider. Let\u2019s go through them now.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Your Available Space&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>Your Available Space<\/h3>\n<p>You want to make sure there\u2019s enough space inside your room for your chosen TV. You\u2019ll not only need to make sure there\u2019s space fo the TV to fit in, but also that there\u2019s space to appreciate it from. Sitting too close to your TV will result in an uncomfortable view, as you will have to keep moving your head around to take in the full image. After just a few minutes of watching you\u2019ll end up with all kinds of aches throughout your neck!<\/p>\n<p>The best thing to keep in mind is that the larger your chosen TV is, the further away from it you will need to sit. In order to choose the right screen size, you\u2019ll need to consider your available space. Every TV has an optimal viewing distance from which it\u2019s best to appreciate it. Luckily, working out this distance is easy.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure to consider what\u2019s around your TV. You want to make sure your TV isn\u2019t too close to other objects in the room. When your TV is cramped in place, it\u2019s put at risk of overheating. As such, you should make sure there\u2019s plenty of room around the TV so it can stay ventilated![\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;The Price&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>The Price<\/h3>\n<p>Of course, the larger your chosen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reliant.co.uk\/televisions\">television<\/a> is, the higher its price tag will be. As such, you\u2019ll want to think carefully about how much you\u2019re looking to spend. If you\u2019re sticking to a tight budget, then we\u2019d recommend scaling down and going for a slightly smaller option. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The larger your TV, the more it will cost. You\u2019ll need to carefully balance your budget and your dream TV size to ensure you grab a display that\u2019s right for you!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If money is no object, then it\u2019s totally worth scaling up, again, only if you have appropriate space for your chosen TV. If you\u2019re keen on getting a larger screen size, but you\u2019re sticking to a tight budget, then it might be worth going for a model with fewer features. The fewer smart features a TV has, the lower its price will be. This allows you to scale up without having to overspend.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;The Resolution&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>The Resolution<\/h3>\n<p>Screen size and resolution tend to go hand in hand. Larger screens look best at higher resolutions, as there\u2019s plenty of room for extra pixels! <\/p>\n<p>Generally, the larger the screen is, the higher its resolution will be. This will directly reflect in the price. Not only will a larger screen cost much more, but a boosted resolution will also result in a much higher cost![\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.reliant.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/whatsize.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;whatsize&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Image&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;How To Measure Screen Size&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>How To Measure Screen Size <\/h2>\n<p>These steps will help ensure your new TV fits your desired space.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Step 1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>Step 1 &#8211; Find The Perfect Spot<\/h3>\n<p>Before you can grab any measurements, you\u2019ll need to think about where your TV will be going.

Measure the full height and width of your TV, making sure to also measure the TV\u2019s base and its screen bezel, to get a full sense of its total size.<\/p>\n<p>This ensures that wherever you place your TV, you can guarantee there\u2019s plenty of space around it.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Step 3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3 &#8211; Measure The Space<\/h3>\n<p>You want to make sure your TV has plenty of room around it, and that it\u2019s not awkwardly shoved into place. As such, you should make sure to measure the spot where you\u2019re placing it.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re keeping your TV on a dedicated TV stand, then you\u2019ll want to measure its width and depth. You want to make sure that your TV does not jut out from any side of the TV stand, as this puts it at risk of being knocked.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Make sure there\u2019s enough space for your TV to fit in comfortably. Make sure your TV isn\u2019t positioned awkwardly, as this can put it at risk of damage when it accidentally tumbles to the floor!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If you\u2019re planning to integrate your TV into a larger entertainment centre, you\u2019ll want to make sure to measure the chosen spot to ensure the entire TV fits into place. Make sure to grab height, width, and depth measurements.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re mounting your TV, make sure there\u2019s enough room for the TV, wherever you choose to keep it. If your TV\u2019s mount features a tilt and swivel mechanism, you should make sure that there\u2019s plenty of space to the left and right of the mount, so your TV doesn\u2019t bash against anything.<\/p>\n<p>No matter where you choose to keep your TV, make sure it\u2019s not cramped in place. Ensure there\u2019s always room around it for it to stay cool!<\/p>\n<p>Make sure there\u2019s also plenty of space between your sofa and your chosen spot for the TV. Sitting too close or too far from your TV will result in an unsatisfying view![\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;FAQs&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h3>\n<h4>Can A TV Be Too Big for A Space?<\/h4>\n<p>Absolutely. Not only could you find yourself in a situation where a larger TV simply does not fit through the door, but you may also find yourself in a situation where the TV is uncomfortable to watch. An improperly placed TV could lead to neck strain as you position yourself awkwardly to watch it!<\/p>\n<h4>Is It OK to Have A Big TV In A Small Room?<\/h4>\n<p>Provided there is plenty of space to safely keep your larger TV, it can be okay to have a larger TV in a much smaller room. However, you will want to make sure that there is plenty of space between you and the screen, so you can enjoy it fully.<\/p>\n<h4>Does A Big TV Make A Room Look Smaller?<\/h4>\n<p>If you have a larger TV that takes up a significant amount of space and is flanked by walls, then it can very easily make a room appear much smaller at a glance. This is one of many reasons why it is recommended to ensure that a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reliant.co.uk\/75-to-98-inch\">large TV<\/a> has plenty of space.<\/p>\n<h4>Where Should You Not Put A TV In A Living Room?<\/h4>\n<p>Generally, you should avoid placing your TV anywhere where it will be directly opposite a significant source of light. As such, avoid placing your TV opposite a window, or a large lighting fixture. Such light sources will easily reflect from your TV screen, creating an annoying glare that will make it difficult to watch anything!<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code admin_label=&#8221;Code&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Can A TV Be Too Big for A Space?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Absolutely.
