TV Appearance and models
There are many types of TVs these days. The curved models are relatively new. These models are characterized by the fact that the screen runs in a curve. The advantage of this is that the image is displayed around you, as it were. The model is most suitable for use on a stand and less for hanging on the wall because the corners protrude in relation to the curve.
The TV Screen Size Chart is a summary of the most popular TV sizes in centimeters and inches to help people to determine the right TV Size.
There is a typo in the “TV Size versus Distance from TV” section: 1 meter is equal to about 39 inches, not 13.
