Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?

HDTV Size chart

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

4 out of 5 stars Very pleased   May 14, 2010

I just have it in the kitchen on top of the refrigerator as a second tv. It's beautiful, yet unobtrusive and easily moveable. I find myself watching it more than I expected because the picture is stunning.


3 out of 5 stars Good overall, but poor as a digital photo viewer.   February 17, 2010

I purchased this model to use it primarily as a digital photo viewer. I have not been impressed with many digital photo frames, and the largest ones are only about 17 inches (diagonal). They are also fairly expensive. So, when I read that this 19 inch HDTV had a built-in card reader, as well as a USB port, and could double as a digital photo frame, I was very excited. With a 720p resolution, the display should be great. Well, not so fast, my friend. The biggest problem is that the card reader and USB port are tied into the DVD player. In fact, the TV goes into DVD mode when a card is recognized. But the resolution of DVD's, and therefore that mode, is an underwhelming 480p (640x480). So, even though the TV will display jpegs up to 1280x1024 from those sources, they only display as 640x480, which is very low. The result is jagged lines, and a very disappointing overall display. Even the colors in that mode are not good. The good news is that you can hook up a computer (via VGA port), or an external HD media player (via HDMI or component), and get the full 720p resolution of the same pictures. They look great since the unit is utilizing it's full resolution capabilities. But that, of course, requires additional hardware & cables running to/from the unit.

There are also some short-comings in the jpeg slide show feature that is built in, even if you want to use it in 480p mode. First of all, there is no option to specify length of time to display each photo, and the navigation to get the slide show running is very cumbersome. There is also no method to randomize the order of the photos. In other words, the whole jpeg viewer feature of this model leaves a great deal to be desired.

In summary, the unit looks good, the price is right, it has all sorts of input possibilities, and has a built-in DVD player. However, do not buy it if you are looking to use it as a digital photo viewer. You will be sorely disappointed.

This is an inexpensive integrated DVD and 19-inch LCD HDTV. So I wasn't expecting the best quality.

With default "middle" settings, the colors are washed out and too bright. Also, faces appear a little too pink. I fiddled with the brightness, contrast, color and tint settings and found a reasonable compromise. Not great but OK.

The volume of the TV and DVD are quite different. The DVD at 100% is about the same as the TV at 50%. When on my treadmill I have the TV set at about 80% (turning it up any further seems to have little additional increase in perceived volume). It's just barely enough to hear. The DVD is hopeless even at 100% and will not overcome the volume of the treadmill at all. This issue is common for sets of this size, so I wouldn't consider this a unique issue.

The volume for playing CDs has he same issue. The audio quality playing CDs is absolutely horrid: tinny and compressed. Even with headphones.

Functionally I don't like the way the DVD works versus the TV. It would be nice if I could bounce between the two at whim and pick up where I left off. Unfortunately, switching to a non-DVD function basically turns off the DVD completely, so when you come back to it, you are starting over and have to scan your way back to where you think you left off.

Channel switching with digital channels is an issue. This works OK but sometimes there's a delay. It works best in analog channels, with fairly little delay. But in digital channels it can get really fussy. You go up channel by one and you can wait a few seconds before you finally get signal. If there is no signal, or not a perceivable one, switching to the next good channel or typing it in can take forever. A solid minute before the set becomes responsive. Pretty bad. Not sure what causes that.

For aesthetics, I would prefer the cable connect below rather than the side. Coax cables are fairly stiff and need room to bend, so it looks rather ugly hanging out the side of the TV to give it room to make it's way around.

UNBELIEVABLE! I left an objective review on Favi's website where they had a couple of very positive reviews of he product. I wrote exactly what was working well and what wasn't. It was up for about a day, then they removed it! They are biasing the reviews on their site. No email or anything from their support department. I provided all my contact info.

I will NEVER buy another Favi or recommend them to anyone.

The favi 19 inch tv is great!! The sound quality is excellent. We placed the tv in our sunroom and the screen readily adapts to bright light. It conveniently contains a dvd player , card reader and usb port for viewing photos on our camera. The company offers great support and communication.Will consider buying a bigger one in the future to replace other tvs. It is truly the best.
