Why you do not necessarily have to buy the biggest TV – De Morgen

We roll larger and larger televisions in our living rooms. But the latter are being no greater than on again. We’ve now reached the point where it really does not need more?

There are only two times when you have to think in the English inch of length: if you happen to be traveling in an Anglo-Saxon country, and when you are able to purchase a new television set. With several major TV events that are coming and those viewers for a long time to keep their television shackled, such as the European Football Championship and the Olympic Games, many viewers waited until this spring to buy a new television set. Then inches, pretty much around the world play the current measurement unit for TV sets with it.

We buy much faster a new television than, say, fifteen years ago, that is the consensus in the industry of television manufacturers . While it dropped in the time of the picture tube television, until the beginning of the century, another ten to fifteen years uitzongen same television is that cycle with the advent of flat screens and digital high-definition imaging technology rapidly under ten years. The current average, so claiming several market offices, is between seven and eight years.

The main reason for the old device to move the bedroom or children’s room, and let anyone bring a brand new model? Inches, so. We want more and more of it. According to the German market research consultancy Growth from Knowledge the average screen size of a new television today some 38 inch screen diameter or 97 centimeters. Five years ago it was only 31 inches (79 centimeters)

But that rising average is only part of the story. Also in the higher screen sizes has seen a huge increase in sales. More than 10 percent of the approximately 230 million television sets sold annually around the world already have a screen diameter of 50 inches (1.27 meters) or more, 60 inches (1.52 meters) is less and less a rarity, and now television manufacturers also sell all whoppers of 80 inches (2 meters) display section.

manufacturers have in recent years managed to convince us that bigger is always better in a television

manufacturers like Samsung, Panasonic, LG Electronics, Sony and Philips have in recent years also managed to convince us that bigger is always better with a television set. Ads, and appliances in the home of relatives and neighbors, stabbing our eyes, but the manufacturers as well do their very best to also sell the larger aircraft at a price point that is acceptable to the average consumer. A 50-inch TV is now on sale for a price south of 1,000 euros, and a model of 60 inch one sits somewhere between 1,000 and 2,000 euros.

That television prices over the past decade gigantic failed, what a piece comes from the fact that profit margins that make manufacturers on those devices have become paper thin. There is also a significant correlation between screen size, technology and price. A new full HD device with a larger screen section took ten years ago several thousand euros, whereas meanwhile sits below a thousand for a device with the same size and the same technology.

 It makes little sense to watch a television 50 inches from a distance of less than 2 meters

from the time that manufacturers have reached a ‘critical mass’, and so have sold enough units of a particular model, prices downwards can.

Apart from the constantly falling prices is, however, another factor that determines whether it makes sense to buy a bigger TV set: the size of your living room. The size of an average new apartment today is 70 square meters, a new house is 105 square meters. Both are about 20 percent smaller than 20 years ago.

If you know that it makes little sense to look at a TV set of 50 inches from a distance of less than 2 meters ( see box), it is clear that in recent years a bigger and bigger object is rolled into smaller and smaller living spaces.
