amo_mea_filiis. Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I'm considering trading my 32" TV for a 19" TV. How much smaller is that? (Don't tell me 13"! Lol. I mean general overall dimensions.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Why would you want to do that? :confused: 32" is already considered to be on the small side. A 19" TV is smaller than a lot of computer monitors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milovany Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I'll trade you! Where do you live? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amo_mea_filiis. Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 I'm actually just looking for a little smaller, but someone posted that they had a 19 they'd trade (of course they would! Lol). I have no where to put this darn tv. I have no wall mount. It doesn't even have a regular stand. A smaller one can go almost anywhere. I was hoping to reduce our use of it.

amo_mea_filiis. Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 I turned down the 19" trade offer. Mainly because the guy was being an a$$. I'll try to find a place for this tv. It's just always in the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatHomeschoolDad Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 That measurement is corner to corner, but I still find it impossible to gauge screen sized unless I stand in front of them. I'd put a 19 in a small room, but it's a bit small for a family-type room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucyStoner Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 We went from a 19 to a 32 and honesty, we are planning to go back to a 19 inch one. I find 32 a bit intrusive in our small living room. That said, I was really used to the smaller size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Clearly, none of you are married to my dh, because otherwise you would know that happiness in life is in direct proportion to the size and number of televisions in your home. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amo_mea_filiis. Posted October 11, 2013 Author Share Posted October 11, 2013 When the guy offered the 19" to trade, he tried to say it was only 2 sizes smaller than mine. He said 19", 29", 32". That annoyed me, so I turned it down and posted the organizing thread. If I can free up one wall, next to the stupid, inefficient heater, the tv can go there. Even better would be the landlord installing efficient heat and getting rid of the "room heater" that heats the whole house. Since that's not happening, I have to figure out how to fix what I have. I've been here 3 years and still can't get the living room set up in a way I like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not number, but size. My husband is the same way with his fish-tank. If he up-sizes the fish tank, I up-size the tv, especially since I take care of the fish-tank!

Mommyof4ks Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Have you considered a projector? You can put it away in a closet when not in use, and you can make the screen any size you want it. My kids love outdoor movies where we project the movie on the side of our garage. We bought a $250 projector that works great, so it is not an expensive piece if equipment.

PinkyandtheBrains. Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Size matters, yo. We have a 32 inch, because that was the smallest dh was willing to go. It is too large for our living room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you mind telling me which one you have in this price range? This would probably be a good fit for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
