Picture

A TV from 60″ to 82″ suits you

At 2.5 metres the most comfortable size is about 71″ (181 cm diagonal).

Smallest we suggest
60″ (153 cm)
Largest we suggest
82″ (208 cm)

How it adds up

  1. Your viewing distance 250 cm
  2. Screen sizes are in inches 1″ = 2.54 cm
  3. Smallest screen: 250 cm divided by 1.63 153 cm ≈ 60″
  4. Largest screen: 250 cm divided by 1.2 208 cm ≈ 82″

How we calculate

We use two well-known viewing-angle guidelines. At 30 degrees (the guideline attributed to SMPTE) your distance is 1.63 times the screen diagonal. At 40 degrees (THX) it is 1.2 times: the screen then fills more of your view.

With 4K you only see the pixels from very close, so the screen can be large: between distance divided by 1.63 and distance divided by 1.2. With Full HD you see the pixels sooner, so we pick a smaller screen: between distance divided by 2.5 and distance divided by 1.63.

The TVs below come from Couchowl's size groups in that range. Also measure the spot where the TV goes: a 65 inch TV is about 145 cm wide.
