In fact, everyone wants a big screen though with a certain area, the large TV room may not be the best choice. The golden rule in choosing the appropriate screen area is room for common LCD or Plasma, the distance from the sitting position to watch TV about two times the width of the screen. As for HDTV, the optimal distance is equal to or slightly less than the width of the screen.

Specifically, if you have a Plasma or LCD TV size 42 inches, the distance from screen to seat up to 1.5 to 2 meters, otherwise you will see too clearly the pixels on the screen, just to distraction The main image, just as eye strain.

2. Rooms have window.


Most TV shows are now well in moderate light, however, a dark room is always the optimal choice, especially for those who like to watch movies in the projector. Do not set the screen on the opposite side with windows. If the room has windows, make curtains to cover the material well enough to not allow light to pass through.

Although often associated labels good quality but can not guarantee that the leading brands have different equipment to satisfy your needs. Before deciding to purchase, please look through one round of home appliance models and see different prices for comparison. Do not let these offerings attractive prices are sometimes blinded by the attractive price is not commensurate with quality. High price means better quality comes.

The answer is still need an appropriate investment should not necessarily just the big names and high prices. Only one thing should be noted that the thin cable, cheap often comes with a DVD player or VCR quality is often not good enough and if possible, replace with better quality cables as soon as possible if not afford the cost of cable "terrorist." At least, the more expensive cable will have a better anti-interference ability and life expectancy is longer than the cheap cables sold separately.
