So this is kind of embarrassing for me to ask but I'm not too sure if it's too small or not. Like I'll be playing Xbox and they'll be bragging about their 40 inch TVs and my TV is only 32 inches. How big is your TV? I just want to compare is all.
EDIT: For clarification, this is not P101. I just made it look like that because I'm a goof :lol:
Seriously though, my girlfriend and friends all say my TV is too small and it's a 32 inch Samsung LCD... I mean come on. That's reasonable, right?

It was reasonable........in 2007 :lol:
If its just your room TV then I guess its fine. If its your main house TV, you may wanna replace it :)
And to Answer your question, we have 4 TVs in total, 2 are 40 inch, 1 is 32 inch , and the last is a 20-something inch CRT.
All are Samsung except the CRT, which is a Panasonic

Bro, my desktop monitor is 24 inches. 40 inches is a modest TV size. I definitely think you are due for an upgrade. :P

Most shit is so intricate and small I can't read or analyze it to the fullest unless the TV is like 60 inches or I'm sitting right up on a smaller one, i.e. 19 inch monitor a foot in front of me

32 inch is my bedroom tv. I use a laptop and barely do any pc gaming anymore as of late as my desktop has passed away and right now I don't feel like repairing it because I want to build my own pc soon.
Living room tv I don't know we bought it a while ago it's quite large. Probably
But 32 inch using hd 1080p is good. It depends on the size of the room too.

50 inch main TV and 23 inch PC monitor which is also a TV here. My bro's got a 19 as well and we have an old 32 CRT up in the guests floor.

screen size is meaningless for TVs. 32 or 72 inches, they're all the same resolution of 1920x1080, and both pictures will look identical if you sit at the right viewing distance. like, for example my laptop has a 15" screen that is 1920x1080, and watching movies on it with my face about 12 inches from the screen looks the same as if I'm watching it on a 50" from 6 feet away. even that new 4K shit they've been talking about is mostly a gimmick.
on the other hand, computer monitors are where screen size + resolution really matters, because the higher the resolution the more room you have on the screen for whatever it is you're working with, like say, long pages of code or a big Photoshop canvas. the more resolution you have the bigger you'll want your screen to be.

No size really doesn't matter according to the surveys here and the girls replies.
Wait what?! Not a puberty thread? Damn!
Anyways we still have a smaller, yet nice TV. We had a nice one but I don't know what happened to it. And I don't think a 32 inch TV is all that bad. It's almost the perfect size for gaming, as a 50-70 is so big, you have to look from one end to the other to even play.

At one house I have an 80 inch as a main, a 55 inch as one for the man cave, and a 32 inch in my bedroom. At my other house, not a one to be found.

My TV is 22 inch, who gives a flying shit?
Ohh that's right, materialistic, vapid, childish tits give a shit....I forgot the rest of humanity existed.
Amen :P
I don't even know what size our TV is, probably 40". If I want to watch it on a larger screen I just go to the movie theatre tbh.

32 is totally fine wtf is with all this pushy materialism?? (Says the person with a $2k laptop)
I'm gonna get a 32in for my bedroom, and then when I move out, I might get a 40in for the living room eventually. This is mostly because the 24in I have is shitty and needs replaced. If it worked ok, I'd probably be fine with a 32 and the 24 I already have.

I traded my TV-Monitor for a regular monitor with my mom, both about 22-23". The living room has a half broken CRT so I guess that doesn't count :P
I'm kinda leaning towards 32" is small for a living room TV though. But that's half because I barely wear my glasses and I should :P

everyone here has a big ass tv wow, your all wealthy good for you. my old cathodic tv is a 24 inches and im very happy to have it, then i switched to a 39 lcd screen, it looks gigantic to me and i don't see the point to have anything bigger, unless you own a basket ball court as a living room...

Haha my TV for watching things is 25" and I find that small. My gaming TV is a 56" Samsung HDTV so yeah I'd say it's time for an upgrade ;) but then again some of my good friends who game use small screens.

I have a 37" (I think) TV in my living room. That's the only TV I own. Friends made fun because they have massive TVs in their living rooms their parents bought and at least a 42" in their room.
But i'm fine with it. It works. It plugs to the PS4. I can see the game i'm playing. Don't really need more.
Plus, not gonna go and spend money just to have bigger. Need to be smart with money sometimes.
Edit: no wait. Forgot there's a slightly smaller TV in my parents bedroom. Think it's 32". I don't feel proper moving it to my room. Sometimes i'll go and watch TV there though.

I only have two flat screen TVs in my house, and thy're something like 18 inches and 32 inches, Also, I have no TV in my room. So in short, the comments above mine make me extremely jealous, I don't think size matters.

Oh man, you got a big laugh from me because of that post hahaha :D
Anyways, it depends really on the space. If you got a really big room, then yes it can be small. If you have a smaller room and a smaller TV that fits in then its great.
But I dont know about it, I got a Samsung Smart TV thats 45", has voice commands, dual-core processor and all the goodies :D
And another 35" secondary TV in another room but the room is smaller so the TV fits in :)

Wow, all the people with huge TVs :P
I have a modest 22" TV in my bedroom, and we have a 40" TV in our living room.

I think it's ok. I don't see the point in getting one of those giant TVs. I have a 24" TV to play on the PS2 and it's more than enough :)

Depending on how far you're sitting from the TV, I'd say your TV is fine. I play my Xbox on a 32", my PC on a 24", and my PS3 on a 55" in the living room. All are fine for me, but the distance between the tv and I are different for each one. But, as a tv for your living room, I'd say 32" isn't the best, but don't go out and waste money on a bigger tv.

The only working TV in my house is 22 inches. All you people saying you have these huge TVs and gaming TVs, it's crazy. Our TV is not flatscreen and does not play any channels, we can just use the Wii on it. It's very old. We discussed getting a new TV but we can't afford it right now. I don't know how you all got those.

A 46" smart TV and later a 32-40" smart Tv for my tiny room.

I'm packing 47 inches right here, its so great, i can see it from ages away :P
nah but seriously, I find that having a larger screen is better cause I can sit back further from it and still be able to read whats on it hahaha

The downstairs TV is 40", perfect size for living room, the one in my room is 32", could've had a 40" in my room but wouldve been too big as I like to sit at the desk where TV is at, so perfect size. If the main TV downstairs is 32", due for an upgrade but 32" is fine for bedroom. (All my gaming is done on the 32").

29"... it's my actual property which is one thing. But I'm behind the times. I went TV shopping with my dad when I went off to college and I took one look around Best Buy and said "They seriously don't sell CRT TVs any more?"
I couldn't care less about a television; it is used for maybe an hour a month if not less. I'm a primarily PC gamer with a 10-channel and 50mbps internet cable package. It's there on the off chance I want to fire up the PS2.

I have a 32" Sony. Decent enough for using Chromecast in bed and the occasional Nickelodeon.

The thing with games and TVs is not size, but resolution and response time. If you are trying to hardcore game (Call of Duty or Battlefield are the best games I can think of for this) you don't want a huge TV because you'll never analyze the whole thing before you get shot by that 12 year old who's fucking your mom.
I have a 19" TV that I have used since high school as my main gaming TV. I will probably switch it out soon for a 22" monitor, but that's still a ways away.
