I'm looking for a visual comparison of a 50" set vs a 65". Anyone got one for me?

The best thing to do in my experience is simply cut a piece of cardboard or paper the size of each TV, place them on the wall where the TV will be and sit in your chair and compare, nothing like a 1:1 look at the issue.

a 65" has 69% larger screen area than a 50". That is a HUGE difference.

if you want to cut that cardboard out as psycho suggest,
the 50" screen area should be ~ 43.6"w x 24.5"h and the 65" is 56.7"w x 31.9"h

Great site, thanks!

Ughhhh.... I'm about to move and am ditching my 96" projector setup for a 58" plasma.... http://tvcalculator.com/index.html?381a6b17e0393a6a9a2e1773ef4024ec

This is going to be tough. :(

Keep in mind, how is a 58 incher going to look in your room. I'm also considering the 58 incher, but I'm hesitant at 9 1/2 feet viewing distance.

Let us know how things for you.

Is the pixel density stated for an SD pic?
