Getting a TV to watch while working out.

I need to be running more because I've been steadily becoming more sedentary over the summer. When I'm not taking my dogs out I run on a treadmill, and my word it is boring. Holding my phone while running just hasn't been doing it for me so I've decided to buy a TV, mount it on the wall and connect a Chromecast to it. I'd like to get something fairly cheap; this isn't for all my content viewing; as such, I can't make an excuse to buy a really nice panel. I'm going to be 3-7 feet from the monitor so the size should probably not be too crazy, but not too small either. Other prerequisites are that it must be wall mountable (if it can come with a wall mounting system even better). If it is a better deal to buy a certain monitor and speakers I'd love to have links to both. I'll add a post soon with some of the TVs I'm considering.

Please quote me if you want me to see your post about my post, otherwise I may lose track of the thread and never see it.


I'd love to help, but I'm probably gonna' have to ask for more info before we can get anything done.


Have a wonderful day.

Size wise I would get a 32inch if you are only going to be 3-7 feet away from it. 37inches would be pushing it, in my opinion.

Okay. I'm looking at http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-UN32EH4003-32-inch-720p-Black/dp/B0078LSTWU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1376759571&sr=8-1&keywords=32+inch+TV and the only thing I'm worried about is the sound system. I can deal with 720p, especially since most of the YouTube stuff I watch is 720p, and because it's supposed to have good color reproduction for the price.

I'm a Samsung freak lol, I think they have very good color for their T.V's and monitors. I have 3 of the Samsung S27B550V 27inch monitors and I can say I'm very pleased with them, So I think that the Samsung T.V will do you justice in my opinion :)
