<p>^Seconded. All of that post.</p>
<p>The tv that’s going in my dorm is 19". It’s big enough.</p>
<p>BMW can’t help it if he is spoiled. :D</p>
<p>I wonder if this is a boy/girl thing, since most of the guys I know have just been bragging about the size of their TVs (…ahem), whereas I would probably cringe if my roommate showed up with a 42" television.</p>
<p>@collegebound91, that could be taken the wrong way, if they didn’t know what you were talking about… LOL</p>
<p>i’m bringing my old tv (13inch?) with me.</p>
<p>I don’t live in a dorm, but I have a 36" inch TV in my apartment living room. It’s not LCD though… good ol’ CRT. But hey, one of my flat-mate got it for free (his brother gave it to him), so I’m not complaining. It’s pretty big and takes a lot of place in the room, especially since our living room isn’t that big. Granted that you would be getting a LCD TV, but I still wouldn’t go over 32" for a dorm room.</p>
<p>I would honestly prefer a 0’’ television since I don’t really watch TV</p>
<p>I don’t need a TV in my room, I watch most everything online anyways!</p>
<p>My good friend, on the other hand…is bringing his 47" flat-screen TV to his dorm. Ahhhh yay for mooching!</p>
<p>i bet most of the people who are saying not to bring a 42" screen haven’t actually seen one in the dorm rooms. i used to use a 19" for a tv, then my roommate had a 28" we used, and then i bought a 40" in my single room. it was awesome and it fit just fine. i connected it to my computer and was able to watch everything with great clarity. just be warned when you look at smaller tvs, they will look very small in comparison. my parents have a 32" and when I pass buy it looks like a toy lol.</p>
<p>two things to really consider are:</p>
<p>1) are your roommates ok with you bringing it? if you’re in a double you don’t want to take up too much of your roommate’s space. you have to consider how much viewing distance space you’ll have. here’s a calculator: [Viewing</a> Distance Calculator](<a href=“http://myhometheater.homestead.com/viewingdistancecalculator.html]Viewing”>Viewing Distance Calculator) and another thing, if you’re going to buy a new tv, be sure to get one that has 240hz and 1080p. i have 120hz and 1080p and it’s awesome experience.</p>
<p>2) are you ok having it in a room where freshmen might get rowdy? if there’s an accident in your room because some idiot decided to play around the tv, well there goes a ****load of money. so do yourself a favor and get warranty on it for sure.</p>
<p>be sure to keep the box your tv comes in. you’ll be using it a lot to transport the tv back and forth from school.</p>
<p>I have seen huge TVs in people’s dorm rooms.</p>
<p>Here there isn’t really anywhere to put it, which was my point. Some girls I knew had a 32+ inch on top of their microwave because besides their desks, is the only place to put it in the dorm I was living in, which is a horrible horrible idea. </p>
<p>The place I’m living now would be able to hold a huge TV but it would take up half of my roommate’s desk space.</p>
<p>I have no clue about the specific layout of where I am living in the fall so I’m not bringing anything big. Most of the dorms I have been in at my school would not have anywhere to put a 42 inch TV. </p>
<p>Check room first then by an expensive TV. Would suck if your parents had to take it back with them or you had to ship it back.</p>
<p>try a projector pointing straight up? That’s like a screen as big as your floor plan =D</p>
<p>Don’t you guys have dressers in your dorms? That’s the simple TV stand solution…putting the TV on the dresser.</p>
<p>Depends on where the dresser is.</p>
<p>My laptop’s screen size.</p>
<p>That’s all I need.</p>
<p>No need for a Tv when you have a tv tuner.</p>
<p>^Unless you want to play video games…</p>
<p>and don’t bring up PC games. PC games are a very reclusive activity. Not the same as playing some multiplayer 360 or Wii.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I don’t plan to play video games when I can do something like interact and talk and socialize with people. I don’t think I want to play Halo in college with other dudes. That’s what you do when you’re in high school.</p>
<p>Seems you took my comments to heart. Haha. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This makes absolutely no sense.
I didn’t quit playing video games as soon as I entered college, actually. Pretty stupid to say something where there’s nothing concrete to substantiate your assumption. Don’t assume because it makes your whole entire argument shaky. That’s the lesson for today for you by Cboe. </p>
<p>For the record, I commuted one semester of two. Since I know you like to read over my threads and posts through my history, you’ll find something to the effect soon or later that I lived off campus close for the other semester, in a house, with 9 other dudes. </p>
<p>I know I wouldn’t want to play video games or Halo for that matter with a bunch of dudes, because I don’t. I’ve had the opportunity that semester to do it, but I find no interest in it. Not that interested in video games. This stopped when I developed different interests and a view on life and got a girlfriend and tasted vagina for the first time. That was during high school. </p>
<p>You’ll experience this epiphany or see to this eventually.</p>
<p>Stop assuming, k? That’s your lesson for tonight. Says me!</p>
<p>That’s cool if video gaming is a medium for you to socialize through since you sound one dimensional. I understand.</p>
<p>Im bringing a 36 incher</p>
<p>ITS IN MY PANTS</p>
<p>lawllawlalwalwlalwlalwaallawl</p>
<p>I have a 46" Sony XBR…currently looking at home theater systems for next year</p>
<p>As big as possible:
- Heavier, and therefore harder to steal
- My personal experience is when sitting 3 feet away from the 60incher in my basement, having to turn your head to see everything creates a more lifelike experience
- Bragging rights
- Bragging rights
- Everyone knows that the size of your TV is directly proportional to you know what.</p>
<p>^^he meant to say inversely proportional* :P</p>
