So I will be moving soon, and am deciding to get a TV for my bedroom. One for my bedroom. I was thinking 32" or around 40 (I know 32 is the norm for bedrooms, but I think 40 is okay too). I currently watch Hulu and Netflix. I wanted to get a dumb tv with Roku 3. Should I also get cable? What Tv do you guys recommend and what type of a content set up? E.g. cable. dish, local, etc. And what internet to go along with it.

Thanks a bunch

How far would you put the TV away from your viewing spot? Chances are, there would be a benefit in going bigger.

 

Whether you'd want a traditional subscription service (cable / sat) or not (streaming + local) would depend on the material that you enjoy viewing (and of course your internet speed).

Thanks for the reply.

About 5' away. it is a fair sized room.

I will probably stick with Roku 3 with hulu or netflix. With local channels in the Bay Area. Do you recomend a interent + Tv serice from ATT? how do you watch the latest movies (other than theaters)?

You're welcome. At 5 feet away, I'd go for a 50" (or even a 55") with today's low prices. A 50-55 incher would fill your FOV quite well, similar to sitting from the back to the middle of a THX-spec cinema. The front row seats of a THX cinema can offer 53 degrees of horizontal FOV, which is bigger than a 65 inch TV from your viewing distance.

A branded 50 incher can cost less than 500 bucks these days, and it is probably a better investment than choosing a smaller screen.

The latest movies do not get distributed until they stop showing them in cinemas. Bluray discs are a good option if you can wait half a year to see the movie.

So you like to watch movies.

5 feet is not much but if really like a big ass tv on yo room, feel free. 50" more.

I recommend a tv size of 40, 42 inch maybe even 46.  When watching anything from a distance you actually don't want your eyes to go from left,right, up down.

And going to a smaller size tv should get you better picture quality.

I don't know about the tv-providers in Ca, shoudl ask others here or there feedback.
