Hey I intend you might love tell apart people before they jumpstart on you about why would anyone give $ 1000.00 more for a TV that is 50 inches instead of 42 . Well on the surface it looks like the 50 column inch TV is only about 30 % large . Well that is not really the case as the 50 inch television receiver is actually 41.7 % larger if they are both in a 16:9 weapons platform for high-definition television . Most people do not interpret that in a standard platform 4:3 telly that a 46″ television set has more than twice the veiwing area of a 32 inch . On the surface it looks like the differance is a 50 % increase because most multitude only calculate the differance in the “ daigonal number ” but this is not true . Want to get off some of these boob wonderful reader to an area that allow them compute the accurate viewing area they are looking at while watching television , then send them to thislinkto look at the calcuations . When looking at expensive LCD CRT screen and Plasma ’s , the “ area ” you are watch is very critical to price and its not as easy as increasing a subway size as could be done in the past .
