Balancing tv size and room acoustics
I'm a relative newcomer to AA and have only made a few replies to posts. This is my first new thread so please forgive me if this has been covered - I searched and didn't find any advice.
I have been in process of converting a bedroom to "my" room. My primary purpose is to make it my 2 channel listening room. However, I hesitate to call it a dedicated listening room because I will be watching TV and generally hanging out in there. So, for dimensions the room is approx 13'x20 w/8' ceilings. My guess is my speakers will be about 5' from the back wall and 7-8' apart. Listening position will be around 8-9' from the speakers. Now, the question. Will the size of TV screen make a big difference in the room acoustics? I will cover the TV with an acoustic panel for some listening sessions, but frequently I like to listen and watch TV at the same time. I'm trying to decide on a 55" or 65". Obviously the bigger the better, but I fear that the bigger screen will introduce more unwanted reflections. I just don't know if the TV screen size would make a difference. Thanks all, in advance. And, BTW this is the best of all the audio forums thanks to all of you and Ivan. Gary |

As long as you cover the TV with an acoustic panel I wouldn't worry about the size if the screen. IMHO. :smoking: |

Hi Gary, I have a 13'6" x 20 room with a 55" tv. With the cover I cannot
hear any negative sound. I did hear I brightness without it. The tube traps helped because I cannot bring my speakers much more into the room. I have since added a quarter trap above the TV. The diffuser was a large improvement. I also just added stillpoints which work much more than I ever thought they could. The difference from day one with no treatments until now has been amazing. I wouldn't think twice about getting a 65" TV as long as you treat it. Good luck and enjoy your new room. https://www.audioaficionado.org/atta...4&d=1486611814 . . . . . . |
Thanks very much. Good idea on the diffusion. You have a great room.

I have a 92" screen between my speakers. It is, of course, reflective of sound (or at least the drywall behind it is). My room is heavily treated, but I do not cover the screen for two channel listening. It has worked well for me.

I cannot hear a major change covered or uncovered with my 123" diagonal screen. The room is treated throughout using Vicoustics panels. Now the same room with a direct view television with a glass screen it would be necessary to use some type of damping cover over it. That I can clearly hear a difference
