What Size Is Best For A Bedroom TV?
It’s usually a good idea to size down when choosing a TV for the bedroom, making it the little brother to the big-screen television in your lounge room. TVs measuring Under 43 inches are great for smaller spaces. If you have the room then 45 – 54 inches, with 55” being the most popular, is ideal for an immersive cinema experience.
“Medium TVs are lightweight, easy to wall mount, and made to share precious bedroom space with your dresser and bed frame,” says John Milonas, The Good Guys Buyer – Televisions and Accessories.
What TV Features Shine In The Bedroom?
That’s easy. You want one with all the smarts! “Most TVs available these days are considered smart TVs, which means they connect to the internet so you can watch your favourite paid streaming services like Netflix, Disney Plus, Binge or Stan, without needing an external box,” says John. If you’re a serial movie streamer and can’t access a TV aerial cable from the bedroom, a smart TV is the perfect no-fuss option.
