The best TV for watching TV

You like to watch TV shows like the news and occasionally play a DVD or Blue-ray video. In this case, the best TV for you has a good image quality, but not too many extras that you'd have to pay for. We've listed 3 recommendations to help you choose.

Choose your ideal size

Most televisions are available in various sizes. These sizes are indicated in inches. To determine the best size for your room, you should measure the distance between your viewing position and your current TV in centimeters. Multiply this number by 0.2 to find your ideal size in inches. If your viewing distance is, let's say, 2 meters, a 40-inch TV is the best choice. Do note that this is simply a guideline. You can opt for a television that's a couple inches bigger or smaller without experiencing any problems.
