Question 1

How far should I sit from a 55-inch TV?

Accepted Answer

For a 55-inch 4K TV, the recommended viewing distance is about 5.5 to 7.5 feet (1.7 to 2.3 meters). For 1080p, sit about 7.5 feet (2.3m) away to avoid seeing individual pixels.

Question 2

What is the best viewing distance for 4K TVs?

Accepted Answer

For 4K resolution, the SMPTE recommends sitting about 1.2 to 1.5 times the screen diagonal. This means for a 65-inch 4K TV, sit about 6.5 to 8 feet away for an immersive field of view.

Question 3

How is TV viewing distance calculated?

Accepted Answer

Viewing distance is calculated based on the screen diagonal and resolution. For 4K, multiply the diagonal (in inches) by 1.2-1.5 to get feet. For 1080p, multiply by 1.5-2.5. This tool applies the SMPTE and THX standards automatically.
