If you live in an apartment, the chances are high that you don’t have the real estate available to construct a massive home theater — the type of personal cinema room that puts your local multiplex to shame. However, as flat-screen TVs are getting more affordable and more advanced than ever, you’ve definitely got the room for the shiny new big screen you’ve always wanted.
When you go shopping, a lot of people might tell you that you can stick to good, old-fashioned 1080p because “you’d never be able to see the benefit of something like 4K in an apartment anyway.” The reality of the situation, however, is that this is something of a myth. You’re actually better equipped to handle a 4K TV in an apartment than anyone for reasons that are worth exploring.
Your 4K TV and Viewing Distance
The reason for this comes down to something called viewing distance — the maximum distance you can sit away from your TV before the eye starts to lose some of that resolution on display.
Viewing distance is always about 1.5 times the diagonal size of the television in question. So, if you buy a 60-inch 4K television set, your ideal viewing distance would be about 7.5 feet.
This means that if you were to buy the same 60-inch 4K TV and put it in a larger room where you’re seated farther away, it would still look great — but the eye would lose that additional resolution and image clarity for every foot beyond 7.5 that you sit.
In an apartment, you’re far more likely to sit closer to the screen than you would in a home — meaning that in this particular environment, you’re getting every last ounce of stunning 4K clarity that you’re paying for.
So is it worth upgrading to a 4K TV if you live in an apartment? The answer is, overwhelmingly, “yes.” Now, go out and buy some UHD discs to play on it.

The holidays are great for a variety of reasons, but one of the best reasons is all of the time that you get to spend with your friends and family. There are so many things that you can do with friends and family to make some quality memories that you can cherish for years to come. One great idea is to have a holiday game night where everyone gets together for some laughter and fun without all of the holiday stress. These are some fun holiday games that you can play this year.
Holiday Charades
If you like to play charades, you can make it holiday themed by just creating some holiday topics. The rules are all the same, so if you have enough people to play a team-type game, this is the one for you. This is one where people can get up and get moving. It also will not be long before the laughter starts.
Christmas Movie Trivia
There are so many Christmas movies out that everyone has seen and there are new ones coming out every year. If you want to get competitive with some trivia, you can find some trivia questions online for all of the classics and see who knows their Christmas movies the best. You can even end the night watching a new Christmas movie or a favorite classic.
Holiday Name That Tune
If you are a fan of holiday and Christmas music, you may want to organize a game of Name That Tune with all holiday music! It is sure to get you into the holiday spirit and you may even break out into singing the songs with your family and friends. Once the game is done, you can even do some other fun things with the music playing in the background.
All it takes to play these games is a bit of creativity and some people to play the games with. If you are looking to host a holiday game night in your residence this year and need the perfect place to host everyone, be sure to take a look at our Mountlake Terrace apartments today.
