Byung: This is what I’m talking about! It’s time to upgrade to a big-screen TV and this is the perfect place to buy one.
Nelly: They certainly have a large selection. These new TVs have pictures that are much sharper than our current one.
Byung: There’s no comparison. These new TVs have a much better resolution. Just look at the brightness and the contrast! Our old TV looks washed out by comparison.
Nelly: And listen to that sound quality. It’s like being in a movie theater with surround sound.
Byung: Yeah, it’s time we moved into the 21st century.
Nelly: According to what I’ve read, with a viewing distance of 10 feet, we should look for a screen size of about 40 inches.
Byung: I was thinking more like a 60-inch screen.
Nelly: A 60-inch TV?! That would take up the entire living room wall.
Byung: That’s exactly what I had in mind!
