I have a 27 inch tv and I am looking at a new one.

I was wondering how much larger a 42 inch tv as opposed to a 37 inch tv in terms of viewing area.


I saw something that said a 47 inch was 62 percent larger than a 37 in terms of viewing area. Is there a chart that says how much larger one tv is over another?


BTW:

I am looking at a 42 inch Panasonic Plasma

TH42PZ80U 1080P for $899 today only


Or


47 inch Vizio 120hz 24p for 999 at Costco on sale Monday



I need to make a decision today, and I am considering the size of the tv as well even though I think the pic of the Panny will be better.

Thanks for the link to the calculator.

I knew my 52" looked much bigger than

my 42" with both in 16:9.

The calculator shows that it has over 53%

more actual viewing area.

yes i think that calculator is terrific. what really makes it great is the comparison of not only the full screen sizes but also two of the wide screen movie sizes, pointing out how small in height they can be


i got that link and another recently from another poster on these forums whose name i forget. this one is also great to visually see the difference in sizes
