Is a 32" TV right for your room?
The most common small TV. Most 32-inch models are 720p or 1080p, which is enough unless you sit very close. At 4 ft 4 in or less from the sofa it suits bedrooms and compact lounges.
Allow at least 29.4" of wall or cabinet width. With the screen centre at a seated eye height of about 42", the top edge sits near 50" from the floor.
