Recommended viewing distance for your TV

TV viewing distance is something to keep in mind when deciding what is the best size TV for your room and calculating how far you should sit from your TV. All TVs have a recommended distance and angle that you will want to consider when setting it up in your home. The best, most immersive viewing experience occurs when 40 degrees of your field of view is taken up by the screen.

This field of view distance can easily be calculated if you know the size of your TV. To calculate the suitable distance, multiply the TV screen size by 1.2. For a 75-inch TV, for example, this would mean sitting 90 inches or 2.3 meters away. Have a look at the table provided below, with the recommended viewing distances for various TV sizes. This will help you choose the best TV size for your space.
