| 634305 | 2008-01-27 03:26:00 | Ok, i have just purchased a new lazy boy suite and the old TV really isn't doing it for me anymore... Our chairs are 1.5 to 2m from the current old TElly. What type / size / extras of TV should i buy - plasma, lcd, speakers etc etc? have a 29" tv at the moment - all advice greatfully received! |

| 634308 | 2008-01-27 04:16:00 | A 42" plasma or lcd will be fine from that distance. Preferably wall mounted or set as close to the wall as you can. | Tukapa (62) | ||

| 634310 | 2008-01-27 05:21:00 | what a 42" at 1.5-2m would be like sitting in a movie theater ......far too close I'd say........jeez the missus wont even let me get one and our couch is 4.5m from the tv | drcspy (146) | ||
| 634311 | 2008-01-27 05:39:00 | We got a 32" wide screen, at about 4-5 Mtrs from the lounge suite, depending on what chair or lazy boy you manage to grab, and its fits the size of the room, any bigger and it would be over sized. The Screen also doubles as a PC screen, and the text / sizes are easy readable from that distance. |

| 634313 | 2008-01-27 05:58:00 | I'd go 32" LCD, a good quality Sony or Samsung Model if you can afford the extra $500 over a cheaper model brand. Say a V or D series Sony Bravia www.sony.co.nz can be found around $1500-1600 on special |
