Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?

Graphic for determining the right size HDTV for your room
With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience.
If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get.
  • Minimum size = Viewing distance/3
  • Maximum size=Viewing distance/1.5

VIZIO M160MV 16-Inch LED LCD HDTV with Razor LED Backlighting, Black

VIZIO M160MV 16-Inch LED LCD HDTV with Razor LED Backlighting, Black (Electronics)
I bought the Vizio M160MV to go in our kitchen because of the number of inputs, features, and the Vizio name. We are very happy with our purchase, and very satisfied with Amazon's great price and fast shipping. Here is some information that I hope you find helpful. These are things that were important to me, or things that I only found out after using the product.
It has a headphone jack, allowing you to plug in some computer speakers. The rear-facing speakers in the TV reflect off the wall or corner you set it in front of, and the sound really isn't too bad. But add-on speakers do sound better. When speakers are plugged into the headphone jack, the built-in speakers turn off. You can also turn off the TV speakers from a menu.

It has a USB port to allow you to view pictures. To test this, I purposely plugged in a thumb drive with gigabytes of junk on it, including many folders, and with .BMP and .JPG pictures on it. I was able to navigate through the folders and display the pictures with no problems. It has a slide show mode that will cycle through the pictures.

It has an HDMI input and a VGA computer input, which can be selected from the remote. Another reviewer called the remote "toyish", and I'll agree with that. You push the buttons fairly far for a very distinct "click", which is unusual. Still, it works.

I have only tested the TV portion by running a splitter from our living room TV's satellite input (RF, not HD). The picture is very good in my opinion. I think the viewing angle specification of 170 degrees is optimistic on Vizio's part, but when we sit it in the corner on our counter, we can view it from anywhere in the room without any problems or big change in the picture quality (some change, yes, but not enough to be a problem).

Out of the box, the picture settings weren't that great, but there is a lot of adjustment range in the picture parameters such as brightness, contrast, and sharpness. In just a couple of minutes I was able to get the picture looking great. It comes with a pretty useful manual.

The TV runs off 12VDC, with a small separate power supply. I have a feeling this was done to keep the TV small and thin (and cool), and to allow you to use a car adapter to power it in a car or camper. It looks like they really thought of every detail.

The unit ships in the original (and colorful) box from Vizio with an Amazon shipping label stuck to the side. You might consider shipping it to where you work or to a place where someone will be there to accept the shipment. You wouldn't want it sitting on your front porch for very long since anyone walking by can clearly see what's in the box.
