22inch TV in dorm too small?

[elpermic]

well i am in a double. do you think a 22 inch TV would be too small in the dorm room?

[crunchfit]

For a dorm, at least 40" +. Preferably 50+ if you have the cash. Pull your money together and get a big TV.

Watching sports on small TVs sucks and more than 1 player on Xbox or PS on small TVs is even worse.

I have a 24" and it gets the job done tv wise, not so much with videogames. My roommate had a 32" and that was perfect for everything. Anything bigger than that kinda seems like overkill

IMO, 22 is too small.
I'm bringing a 42 with me this year, last year my roomies 32 worked pretty well for about everything.

First year my roomie had a 26 (28?) and it was a little small for our setup.. So I'd stay away from the 22.
(also in a double)




If you already have it though, it's better than nothing.

Wow, I just realised how poor I am.

You guys are talking about bringing 40 inch tvs to dorm rooms? How big were you fuking dorm rooms in university?

Dorms in my res were small as shiit.

[rumpsicle]

LOL at these clowns bringing huge TVs to their dorm. 22 would be fine, I had a 26 last year and it was more than enough.

[backinbusiness]

at LEAST 32"

A tv can never be too big. Just like you can never have too much money, sex or muscle.

Dorms in uottawa were small as shiit.

My actual dorm room was bigger than the on-campus appts that I'm at now, lmao

My bedroom now says 8' by 11'6", it's crazy small lol. Going to have my 42 in there, gonna seem huge :)

In the dorm room we had both of our beds lofted, with the TV under one, and the futon under the other. Worked like a charm.
If that's now how you're setting it up, then I can see where a smaller tv would be fine.

lawl, more than enough for what exactly?
I actually like to see my tv when I'm watching it.
Heaven forbid I play a game with someone and have to split screen







In all honesty OP, a 32 would be a good choice. I wouldn't go any smaller (having done so in previous years).

any way i can fit a 32" tv into a suitcase? fukkk

[IllPhill]

22 for a tv is small in general as a lot of desktops already use 20'+ monitors. But since it's for a dorm I'd feel safer to not bring a ballin ass tv. Unless you plan on using it for huge gaming parties and have to split screen, then it's fine

Are you flying to your school with only a few suitcases?
O.o

[Tes45]

I've used a 22" in two different dorms and my apartment just fine.


I do just keep in in my BR at the apt though. 32" in the living room.

[scotyg]

my dorm was pretty small and my roommate had a 32 inch he won at his grad night event, and it was perfect size. i think a 22 would be too small. a couple of rich kids down my hall had a like a 48 inch but i think it took up too much room.

well i am flying with 2 suitcases, my backpack and my laptop bag

[A_Hard_Rain]

i have a 22" and it works fine, use it as a 2nd monitor as well. ****'s cash, 2 people i know have gotten one because they've seen my set up

I agree! 32" would do the job just fine for a dorm room.

[gswarrior510]

i'd go 36 or 40 if i was on a tight budget..close to 50 if i wasn't.

Sports and video games dont have limits on the screen size

[IawI]

22 is really small brah... That's basically a computer monitor.

[elpermic]

well the plan is to use it as both a TV and my 2nd monitor so i have more desktop space, i just don't think my laptop will cut it.

[Kharig]

i have a 20 inch... it gets the job done plus no1 wants to steal it
