She kept saying 60 would be too big for the room. I said - nonsense! She finally agreed.
I then proceeded to 65". She resisted a bit, but I showed her the charts, saying for our viewing distance even 65" was barely adequate.
So today we went to the store to buy that 65" model. By a pure happenstance the cash register in the main hall did not work, so we went to the home theater area, and there, very near the register, was that 70" model, playing loop demos.
At first I just pointed at it for her, without any plan... but very soon it became clear the hook was set. A few more casual passes and she told me she wanted THAT! :)
But seriously... we watch from 11', so 70" looks very natural from that distance.
It is incredible - when you walk between all those 80" and 85" TV's - they don't look all that big anymore.
