Questions about upgrading to an HDTV for someone who is nearsighted (self.Blind)
submitted by madmex89
Hello

I'm actually considering upgrading my TV to HD television however I get rather confused between the differences between 720 and 1080 P. The current TV that I have is a 19 inch symphonic from 2001 2002 i'm considering getting a 32 inch TV. My visual acuity is between 20/70 or 20/80 with correction. The TV is usually about four or 5 inches away from me from my bed. For those of you that are nearsighted. What would you recommend?

Hello Maxmex89,

Considering your TV will be really close to you, a 32 inch TV is big enough. As for the difference between 720p and 1080p, it relates to the numbers of pixels shown on screen. The higher it is, the clearer the image will be, but the difference is almost unnoticable to a normal-sightest person when the TV is 32 inch.

A thing worth noting, most 32 inch TV are 720p because the difference to an 1080p TV is too small to notice, so most of TV manifacturer do not bother making their 32 inch TV as 1080p.

Hope this helps!
