      Buy one that fits/suits the room. No point in buying a 70" TV when you are going to sit a metre away from it. You won't get a good viewing experience out of it.

      Depends, if you like movies as they are meant to be seen (theatre) or as television used to be forced to be seen. A 70" one metre away is pretty drastic, but when I had a dedicated home theatre we were three metres away and the screen was fourteen feet and not quite big enough. It's quite amazing how hard it is to end up with a screen that is bigger than optimal.

      What "fits/suits" a theatre room is different to what fits a normal room 😉

        Depends, what's the goal of having a television in any room? How often do you watch a show and think "boy, I wish that I could watch this worse?"

          I know that sounds silly, but I really mean it. I love having rooms with no televisions in them. Heck, I live in a house with essentially no television at all now. Thanks to rural Spain. BUT, when I've had viewing devices in my homes I have never had a situation where I wanted one that was smaller. Now, how much money will I pay for a bigger one, that's something different. I have monetary caps. But as long as it would fit, I wanted the biggest, best, most comfortable viewing possible.

            Now if you are assuming that a large television also means that it draws a lot of power, requires heavier bolts to hold, etc. okay, that makes sense. There is a size that is impractical. But I've had those situations and we just went to a different style of television to fix it.

            We had an 84" as a television in our little Texas house two years ago. Worked out great. And that had to be less than two metres viewing distance.

              Just took down my network.. I'm going simple with my home network after using Pfsense and servers for years. I'm taking it all out. Just a modem, DD-WRT router (with wireless turned off) and my UAP AC.

                    Possibly the Panasonic HC-X1000. I'd really like to get the Panasonic DVX200 but it's not out yet. I still have my Panasonic HVX200 laying around somewhere but it's rather old and 720p/1080i only. And P2 workflow isn't used much anymore.

                            Went from work to an onsite last night, which might have been the best one ever! We went and saw a friend in a nursing home, went and my onsite bought me dinner and then offered to let me spend the night at her house (she's in her early 80s), but I said I didn't have a clean shirt for work, so she bought me one of those too! Then we went back to her house and just talked the rest of the evening. It was too late at that point to do the computer work for her. I'm going to go back another time and do the work, and she offered to let me stay over again. It just felt safer than going home.

                                      Consider switching to the ASH shell. Then you could just make bad ash scripts.
