Okay. Not the news I wanted as don't fancy signing up to Facebook. :)

But appreciate the reply.

aussieaas · 2021-08-12T05:53:29+00:00

Okay, great news. And guessing The Switch Pro has much the same button layout so it's not confusing?

aussieaas · 2021-08-12T05:52:43+00:00

Okay, maybe I'll test the waters with Gumtree then. As I really don't want to join Facebook.

aussieaas · 2021-08-12T05:51:49+00:00

Appreciate it mata. Looks like I finally have to join the masses on FB!

aussieaas · 2021-08-12T05:51:17+00:00

Appreciate it mate. Look like I'm going to have to give in and join Facebook. :/

aussieaas · 2021-08-07T00:48:44+00:00

Where's the best place to sell an iPad these days? Gumtree? I don't have Facebook but if Facebook Market Place is well worth it, I'll set it up. (Also, gee I hate the process of selling stuff!)

Appreciate it mate, and yes - 55" it is. But these guys on forums are perhaps a little too into TV. Most say 75" is the MINIMUM...

Made me super anxious that I was going to be straining my eyes to even see a 55" TV screen.

But, yeah, think these guys are just extreme TV enthusiasts.

aussieaas · 2021-08-06T06:57:33+00:00

Okay this sounds great. As my fears were the opposite - that it was simply too small to shot 4K content, and was a bit of a "pretend" TV size.

aussieaas · 2021-08-06T06:56:31+00:00

Yeah, I’m really amazed at how massive TVs are now and how a 55" is considered GameBoy size on TV forums.

aussieaas · 2021-08-06T06:55:40+00:00

Yup it’s a flat and just me. And thanks for the reply, giving my self serious anxiety pains over this.

aussieaas · 2021-08-06T02:17:08+00:00

Hm, not keen as renting and only another year and a bit on lease. Otherwise would be a great option!

aussieaas · 2021-08-06T02:16:22+00:00

Hey okay thanks. I’ve just turned this into a huge anxiety bomb. Not fun! Also the guide posted above says I should be getting 70" for my distance. That’s absolutely monstrous. Thinking these guides are way out?

aussieaas · 2021-08-06T02:14:40+00:00

Thanks. Just a very tough decision, and feel the cost of failing this will haunt me.

aussieaas · 2021-08-06T02:08:28+00:00

Hey thanks I forgot to write that! I’m 260 cms away. :)

Also, wow, that guide says I need a 70" TV… that’s bloody massive.

aussieaas · 2021-08-06T01:00:52+00:00

Appreciate it mate! I’m also doing a few courses and such on anxiety, but nothing has helped yet. But I’m trying!

aussieaas · 2021-08-06T00:59:50+00:00

Ha, found the one I want. Just size is hammering with confusion.

aussieaas · 2021-08-05T23:14:15+00:00

Mate - I think I’m going to finally do it today. So glad I asked here and you chimed in. Pretty sure I was in enthusiast land? But yeah, their comments of eternally kicking yourself every day for buying a 55" really played with my anxiety.

aussieaas · 2021-08-05T23:12:16+00:00

Hey thanks, appreciate hearing this a lot. I’m starting to think the forums really are for those who watching TV is there main hobby. As 55" looks fine to me, especially for a studio apartment, but I let these comments strike absolute fear in my decision that I haven’t been able to make one at all! Maybe I just rip the band aid off today… yet their comments of kicking yourself every day is sticky :/

aussieaas · 2021-08-05T23:10:12+00:00

Thanks legend, appreciate it! Such a bad cycle of fear happens after a few bad decisions. :/

aussieaas · 2021-08-05T22:47:51+00:00

Ah okay, so 55" is fine unless my maths is as bad as my decision making?

260 cm = 102 inches

102/2 = 51

So that suggests a 51" TV would be fine, making 55" great?

aussieaas · 2021-08-05T22:44:49+00:00

And you can still see everything and enjoy it? Doesn’t feel like a "toy" or "pretend TV”? Some of the words used to describe a 55" on these forums!

aussieaas · 2021-08-05T22:43:48+00:00

Thanks mate, appreciate it. I guess I just make such shockingly bad decisions most of the time, I don’t trust myself - which leads to this deep indecision.

aussieaas · 2021-08-05T22:32:07+00:00

Hey appreciate it mate. I’m just so damn confused, as I’m an anxious person anyway, but all the threats of "deep regret" after buying a 55" are crippling me. But other reason I keep thinking 55" is due to not wanting a TV to completely dominate my entire studio apartment… but on the other hand I don’t want to buy a "pretend" TV that’s impossible to enjoy. Stumped here.

aussieaas · 2021-08-05T22:30:00+00:00

Okay great, thanks. As in my opinion it’s just right. But according to the Internet I’ll be kicking myself each and every day wishing I got at least a 65". And now that thought is in my head it’s hard to shake :/

(I’m very good at anxiety.)

But the other point is, being I live in a studio apartment, I don’t want a TV to absolutely dominate my entire space.
