Americans say ‘Bigger is Better’ – for TVs, anyway.

Size Matters (At Least for TVs)

If you thought your 55-inch TV was big enough, think again. A new survey shows nearly half of TV shoppers want a screen bigger than 65 inches—because apparently, we’re all trying to turn our living rooms into IMAX theaters.

Why Are We Obsessed with Giant TVs?

TVs are getting cheaper, and our standards for screen size are getting higher. Here’s why bigger is winning:

• Falling Prices: Once upon a time, a 75-inch TV required selling a kidney. Now, you can grab one at Costco for the price of a weekend getaway.
• Better Resolution: With 4K and 8K, you need a bigger screen to appreciate all those pixels. Otherwise, why bother?
• Streaming Takeover: Who needs the movie theater when you can binge-watch from your couch on a screen that takes up half your wall?
• Peer Pressure: Admit it—your neighbor got a 75-inch, and now your 60-inch looks like a sad little tablet.

What Size is “Too Big”?

At what point does your TV stop being a TV and start being a structural hazard? The survey found:

• 48% of shoppers want 65 inches or bigger
• 20% are eyeing 75 inches or more
• 5% think 85 inches or larger is the sweet spot (do they live in mansions?)
