The Big Question: TV Sizes

The other day a friend of mine was asking me: should I get a 55″ or a 65″ TV? He had enough money to get the 65″, but wasn’t sure if it was necessary.

Which, as we all know, is a bit of a silly question to be asking. But if we’re being serious, it’s a sensible thing to ask.

I grew up with plenty of old PCs around me, and I didn’t get my own TV until I was a working adult and could afford to have one. The first TV I ever had was a 32″ panel from ALDI, which still works today and ended up being a wonderful bedroom companion. I still remember finishing a long midnight shift, coming home and playing Assassin’s Creed for an hour in bed. Good times.

These days, I have a 60″ Sony TV in my lounge room. It seems about the right size, and I’m pretty happy with it even though it takes a year and a half to wake up after hitting the power button.

What size TV do you have – and if you’re in the market for one today, what size would you like to get? (I’ve allowed for multiple answers, given that a lot of gamers and households have multiple TVs.)
