Need some advice

we bought a TV last weekend for our living room, the one we had was really too small, well this one is really too big. I think it looks weird and asthetically it is not at all pleasing to me. John said we could take it back and get a smaller one (in between the old and this one). My only hesitation is how excited he seemed about having a larger screen when we first brought it home. He said "that's because I'm a boy first and a designer second". I REALLY don't like it but I don't want him to have to give up something if he really likes it. Thoughts?

Re: Need some advice

  • I will need photographic evidence to make a suggestion on this one.
  • If you're like me, every time I walked by it I'd think it was too big and looked out of place.  It sounds like he's willing to compromise, so I'd return it.

  • Go get the in between one.  MrShoe fought me on getting the biggest tv our entertainment center could possibly hold but I knew it would be too big.  I won and when we got home, he finally admitted that I was right.  The big tv would have been very overwhelming.

    I can't get that till tonight, but the space is 48.5 inches and it's a 40 inch screen so with the casing it takes up the entire mantel over the fireplace.

  • yeah I'm on the get the smaller one side.  I'm just not a fan of huge TV's, they don't ever look nice in a room.  Unless you can "hide" them somehow.  When we finally jump on the bandwagon and get a new TV, it's just going to be a 32 inch.

  • I would get the in between one. I am not so much a TV person anyway (which is why we still have the one I got for my dorm freshman year - from a pawn shop lol - the old school kind with the big back and why we only have one tv).

  • I'm going to have to dissent, and say let him have it. There is something about boys and electronics. If it fits, and you can afford it, then let him be happy with his big TV. You'll eventually get used to it. I'm embarassed to admit that I finally got used to the 50", and now I even like it.
  • My answer would be obvious if you ever visited my house.  I relented and we have a 62" in the living room with a 50" in the bedroom. Let him keep it.  I got used to it, and I now I couldn't see us with a smaller television in either room.
