Recommended viewing distance for your TV

Last Update date : 2024-02-15

All TVs have a recommended distance and angle that you will want to consider when setting it up in your home. The best and most immersive viewing experience is when 40 degrees of your field of view is taken up by the screen. This field of view distance can be calculated by just knowing the size of your TV.

How to calculate?

To get this suitable distance, multiply the screen size by 1.2. So for a 75 inch TV, that means sitting 90 inches, or 2.3 meters away. Have a look at the table provided to determine the recommended viewing distances for various TV sizes so you can choose the best TV size for your space.

•Recommended Viewing Distance Zone = 40°.

•Recommended Viewing Distance = Screen size x 1.2.

•For example 75 inch: 75" x 1.2 - 90.

• 90" = 2.3 meters.

•That's the recommended Viewing distance for 75 inches Samsung TV.

Things to keep in mind

1 Check the actual TV dimensions.

The excitement of buying a new TV can often cause you to forget about the actual task of setting it up. A TV is more than just its screen size. The physical dimensions of a big screen TV, stand and bezel included, as well as its future placement in its room are all important factors to remember. Be sure to compare the exact TV dimensions with your furniture setup to avoid headaches down the road when setting up your big screen TV.

2 Check the TV resolution, especially with a big screen TV.

The general rule of thumb is that as the screen size increases, so should the total pixel count or resolution. The better the resolution, the more you see the image instead of the pixels. This is why when you buy a big screen TV it is highly recommended to go with a high resolution picture quality like 4K.
