    Well lads,
    Im just wondering how big I can go with my tv that it wont dominate the room,
    Ive seen a nice 46 inch panasonic but im afraid it will look to big,
    ill be putting it in the corner of the room on a stand,
    The room is 20 ft by 14 ft which is a good size so im hoping that ill be able to get away with it but i might have to go 42 inch!!
    Thanks for any advice

    My room is the same size, I have decided to go for a 42" for what its worth.

    I have a 50" in a 12ft long bedroom. it doesn't dominate. You;d be surprised how quick it settles into your room and you don't notice the size.

    You may laugh, but use a piece of cardboard as a template to give you an idea of the size.

    What dominates a room depends on personal taste and is a matter of opinion. I reckon I'd go for 42" as it's in a corner unit and will jutt out more.

    I did a scaled 3D mockup in Gooles SketchUp program to see how it would look with differnat size TV's. Bit OTT but I wanted to check colours, layout and other stuff as well. Worked well and gave me a very good impression of what it would look like.

    Its very effective, do the video turorials (and there are loads more on YouTube) and you will ge the general idea. Bits of it are abit hard but the result can be very worth it.
