Im hesitating between a 55’’ and 65’’ TV. I really want a 65 ‘’ honestly. But in sofa (eyes ) are 7’’ feets away. What do you think?
Thank you. Great videos !

I am currently doing a 4k 43 inch at 6 ft and thats perfect for me. This also means that I don't have to move my head to see what's happening on the other side of the screen.

I have a 75" 4K TV in the living room and sit 8 1/2 feet away from it, which is closer to the THX recommendations rather than SMPTE. I find it quite comfortable but it does come down to personal preference. I like my games and movies and I like a degree of immersion. In my spare room, I have my old 55" 1080p 3D TV which is six feet away from the seating area and I can sometimes see the individual pixels on the screen.

I just got a 86" tv and uses it at a maximal distance of 10 feet from the sofa and closest 6 feet from the armchairs. It's perfect for me.

I still use my 46" 1080P Samsung 8500 series from '09 and I sit almost exactly 10' away. It's been just fine. I'm not distracted by the speakers next to it or anything else in the room. I'm looking to upgrade to a 65" because after 14 years it's time. But I would think 75" for a 10 foot distance would be just way too much screen. I've sat 8-10 from a 65" and everything on the screen looked massive. 75" would be too much. I have to believe this all personal preference. Especially since I've had no issues with a 46" for 14 years. Plus budget is a huge factor. I don't think the extra inches is worth the expense.

I sit 12.5 feet away from a 77inch. If your livingroom is patrially blacked out then you can sit futher back bc of how the tv pops more. My back tv wall is blacked out.

Thank you so much for sharing the formula and examples with different sizes.

Do you think 75 inches would be too big for a bedroom? I would probably sit 7-8 feet away from the tv. Thought about 65 but I Dont want to regret later for not going for a bigger tv.

[tonybradshaw]

This was really useful, still finding it hard to decide though, 65" looks so big, takes over the room. Bought a 65 and its sat in the box as I might return with 14days grace period. main couch is about 107" from tv. which based on this video is about right. conscious, I'll send back and regret. currently have 50, and 55 is marginally bigger, but decent. 60" would keep everyone happy including the wife! 😂

I’m 7’ away from my 75” TV and it’s perfect for me

[praveenkumark]

Planning to buy 65 inch tv....my hall is 11×17 ft...i prefer setting tv unit at 17 ft distance...will that be too long for 65 inch tv?

[markreyes]

You think 65 inches Sony 90L is perfect for 8 feet distance? Please help I have one sitting I don’t know if I’m going to return it or hang it on a wall or buy a smaller model like 55….

[shaneheffernan]

Moved my sofa up now sit 6 to 6.5 feet away what size 43 or 50? Will 50 be overkill?

I just bought 2 of this 48 inch 807 Philips tv right before the store was empty. 1 for upstairs play area, and 1 for my main living room. They are such a good deal, specially when tv prices are gonna shoot up because of the world economy.. new 808 model is around 50% more expensive in each inch segment here, without anything special new to offer, so buying these xx7 models before they sell out was a good deal. Was considering 65 inch for my main living room, but after several years with 55 inch tvs, and recently experiencing smaller tvs again and understanding more what I want from a tv for myself and my family, 48 inch is plenty. Didn’t know how much a good field of vision, and picture experience with content from 4k to 720/1080p meant to me before being on a cabin with a 32 inch tv… so much more relaxing to watch movies on, and awesome picture experience on lower resolution/less quality material. The “bigger is better” chase had really made me blind for quality viewing after I went up to 55 inch. So if anyone cares.. I recommend you to follow rtings and other optimal viewing distance data sheet. 😊

I am sitting around 400cm away from a 42" 4k tv. Is that too far? I can always move closer

[justinmaccreery]

Thanks for the video. Your ratio ranges definitely provide me good, new perspective!

[paulp]

Hello im using my tv as a gaming tv at 1440p resolution, i have a 77" tv , what is the optimal distance... thanks in advance

[dddtrump]

I am going from 55 inch to 75inch! about 9feet away! But can always move the couch back a little further if needed.

[luisrivera]

Are 7.5 feet distance enough for a 65 inch 4k tv?

[crockett]

0:58 Does "where you should be sitting" mean where your eyes are? I'm asking because I feel like some recommendations may use distance to couch, to the front of the couch. And the difference can be like half a meter, what ever that is in feet, like 1, 5 ft. I'm assuming its from roughly the eyes but just asking for clarification.
