A 50” tv is more than sufficient

I like them big. I’ve got a 75 in living room, 65 master bedroom, 55 upstairs man cave, 55 outside(will upgrade to 75), 55’s in spare bedrooms, and projector in theater room.

Depends on the space it’s in. Anything over 55 inches or so would look ridiculous in my living room… but it’s not a big room

I have a 46” in my living room, a 55” in master bedroom, and a 65” on my back patio…

The issue most people have is they mount the TV too high. It should be eye line in the center of the TV when you're sitting on the couch.
Mine is too high and I hate it, but our casual den has a fireplace and above it was the only option.
Bothers me so much but I learned to live with it. Eye level in bedrooms and bonus room.

Same here. I’m 15+ feet from my tv. Have a 75” and it’s not too big. I’m looking at 100” for my next. The previous homeowner had a projection screen with a movie projector behind the couch.

Our living room is really long but not that wide. I know it’s 12 feet wide but more than 25 feet long. The layout isn’t good with the windows and doors to put a big TV at the end so we have it on one wall and the furniture across from it. 50 is what we have in there now. I wouldn’t go much bigger than a 65 though.

75” in Living Room and 100” in media room. If you’re debating between 2 sizes, always go bigger.

Rocking a 43 incher

It’s all relative to the space it is in.
Too small or too large can look bad.

I've had a 55 for three years, my biggest before the divorce was maybe a 60. But, I'm also good with watching Netflix or the world cup on my 28" second monitor.

Pre divorce I was at 100 in the living room, which fit well. Down to 50 now. Did 65 in the master bedroom, went with a 32 that I’m satisfied with. The only problem is I had a 42 inch in the bath that I loved and now went down to a 20. I’m sure I’ll scale back up upon remarriage. It’ll be okay

I got an 85 inch tcl from Costco for 1000$ last year and it’s awesome. Still have a 50 inch in bedroom and 55 inch upstairs. Basement has a big wall tho that the prior 47 inch wasn’t doing it. All of them are from 2017 or earlier tho outside of the 85. I don’t get the people who update every year or two.

I have a 100” on lay a way at Walmart right now
Posted on 7/14/26 at 8:46 pm to muttenstein
I have a 75" Sony TV, and I love it. If or when it dies, I hope to get an 85, but that will be the absolute largest that might fit in the space I've alloted for a TV in my living room. Anything larger would impinge on a nearby doorway into my hall.
Though this may be a redneck or trashy opinion, within the limitations of your room or alloted space, bigger is always better.

Your trailer isn’t very wide, so when your couch is 2’ away from the tv, 50” is fine.
I have a double-wide, so need at least 90”.

I still enjoy my 60" plasma from 8 feet away

Nah we are the same way. Mine is a 42 or 46” Bravia I bought in 2012, still works so I’ve never bought a new one.
It’s probably 10’ away. Never really gave tv size any thought. I know they are cheap - those 85” are cheaper than mine was 14 years ago.

This is the key.
Our living room has a 72". Sofas are on the opposite wall. The size helps for entertaining.
My bedroom has a 62 inch. The room is very long and our heads are as far from the TV as possible (24 feet). We need a bigger TV. Just reading the chirons on the morning news is challenging.
A cozy den is fine with a 50 inch.
I can watch on my work computer monitor from my desk chair (37 inch).
