The answer to that question is simply NEVER :)

Can you tell I’m a video game junkie? I have a 60 inch tv and love it this is how video games where meant to be enjoyed.

The trick is your seating arrangements sit to close your turning your head to constantly. Sit to close you can see everything thus missing out on the experience.

Here’s a quick guide you can also consult your manufactures recommendations for your tv and size.

Screen size? How close can I sit?
42" -————— 33"
50" -————— 39"
60" -————— 47"

Here’s a site that gives you more detailed information

I don’t know but my video games looked just fine on a 52 inch screen.

You wouldn’t want anything that was so big, that you have to keep turning your head from side to side to see the other side of the screen lol.

Hubby’s aunt has a tv like that. Freaking thing is HUGE!

The Tv may be too big if the video characters are bigger than you! LOL

I don’t have a TV……so size for me really doesn’t matter. But I do have a computer where everything in my booth is 30% off this week only.

our size 52" inch tv works great for video games too!

answered Translation missing: es.datetime.distance_in_words.almost_x_years ago

No! The new sets don’t emit radiation like the old-skool CRT sets…So, the bigger the better—let your budget be your only limiting factor! Like other things…anyone who tells you size doesn’t matter has never had a really big…..HDTV! Why, what did you think I was going to say?
:)
I’m proud to say I have 2, 42" sets…one plasma & one LCD set…I’m crazy like that…No, they say LCD’s are better in light, sunny rooms and plasmas are better in darker rooms—by golly, they were right! I used to have a 50" projection set in my sunny living room…it died, 12 seconds after my warantee expired!
;(
So, stop by my booth for some special deals—I have to start paying for this new set! [like fast!]
