So Era, how big is the television you use for gaming purposes?

55" which was a pretty good upgrade from my old 46" and fits the space I have well, but honestly wish I had gone for the 65". 55" from across the living room still doesn't feel like it really encompasses my entire field of vision when I'm playing, so it's like looking through a very big window if that makes sense. There's still a sense of the "frame".
I suddenly had an overwhelming urge to photoshop Marilyn Manson's head on a house and make a Marilyn Mansion pun.
It ain't the size, it's the quality.
An 85" X900H ain't near the quality of a 77" LG CX
And the CX is a lot more expensive, too.
It was a 49 inch X800D, but I upgraded when I got my PS5 to the 55 inch X900H. I sit about 7 feet away from the screen.
I wanted the LG CX, but if I'm going OLED, it needs to be 65 inches and I couldn't persuade my wife to get it, so I settled for the X900H.
Not disappointed at all, now that it's in my home and I have the bias lighting behind it.

Using a LG 65UH8500. I think it's around 4 years old now. OLED was too expensive at the time but I'm happy with the PQ while gaming. The object blooming when in HDR or Dolby Vision is annoying at night. I'll wait until this one dies before getting a new one as I will probably also want to upgrade the receiver that ties everything together. I would love to fit a 75" as my couch is pretty far from my TV.
Yeah true. I think for my room 65 is a good size, but I'll see how much the better ones are before deciding
How far away do you plan on sitting? That's the biggest question you need to ask.
Old as heck ~42" RCA 1080p TV, has to 10+ years long in the tooth.
Hoping to replace it in 2021. I badly want an OLED .

I moved house this year (great year to move) so my lounge now is a lot bigger. My 49 inch TV was a good size for my old lounge but it looks tiny in my house now. I'll need to measure how far away my sofa is
I have a 120" screen. But it's a projector in my home theater. I sadly don't have a mansion. I just built my theater a little bit at a time. I'm happy with what I was able to do. I sit about 10" away, and it's really nice.
I think 50-60 is good enough for a bedroom. For the same field of view on a living room or a similar space a 75-80 works better.
Mostly use the Optoma UHD42 (Uhd50x) projector on a 106" screen and it's fantastic! Sit about 10 feet away.
There's an old but still great 55" Panasonic VT65 plasma behind it which I rarely use for gaming anymore, a 49" Samsung 4K TV (lower end but nice for the occasional use it gets) at the end of the bed, and a 40" Samsung 4K TV in the office as a PC monitor.
So a nice selection to choose from! The PC is connected to all of the screens, but the consoles are just on the plasma and projector.

I don't use a TV ... I game on a 110" screen using a projector. Immersion is king for me, and no TVs can beat a huge screen. I'm building a new house, where I will have a dedicated cinema room, with a screen about 170", but I could go up to 260 in the future with brighter laser projectors.
43" right now since that was what fit in my last setup. I just moved and have more room so I'm lookin to go to a 55". Thinking about waiting to the next years TCL 6 series comes out.
You should post pics of that in the gaming set up thread once it's done. It sounds awesome
65" Sony X900H.
I'm hoping to get a 75" someday when we redo our living room space after the kids are old enough to buy nice furniture.

I have a 48" LG CX. Wall mounted and I sit a few feet away. Perfect size honestly, hope they release the C11 in the same size as well.
Of course!
Nah, depends on which room I'm in since the 3 TVs are all over the place with different things hooked up. Switch dock for example is connected to the 55in because it looks best at a 1080p set.
I'm using a projector on the white wall. I max it out to 135" 2.35:1 for watching films, and zoomed back to 110" 16:9 for games and everything else. (the size is pretty much limited by the height between the ceiling and the top of the speakers)
Sitting at 10ft I think it's perfect. Some friends and family members think it's too close. We don't talk anymore.

Just upgraded a few weeks ago from my 43" Vizio to a 50" LG 4K TV for $300. If I had known my old speaker setup wouldn't work with 4K TVs, I might've given in & got a 55" since that's the biggest that I can probably fit on my entertainment center while also having room for my other systems & leaving room for a PS5.
No idea on how far I sit, but I imagine it's like 8-10 ft.

43". i'm not terribly far from the screen and my partner doesn't want a big tv
we'll go a little bigger next time, though. 43 is drying up for good tvs as far as i can tell
