Pete, for 2.5m to 2.7m should I get at 50" or 55" to watch SD channels ? To watch BR, what is the distance to watch comfortably ?

Hi Pete. Sorry I do not quite understand. So for a distance about 2.5 meters, if only view 1080p videos and tv, what size should I get? I think 50 is sufficient. Is 55 too big?

55" for 2.5m viewing distance is still comfortable.. no worries about it being too big..

I made a simple brochure for the viewing length of UHD/ 4K TV.

Need some advise.

Viewing distance of 2.1m. Mainly watching fta channels, Netflix, YouTube and Google/iTunes movies. Thinking of getting a 55" Oled.

Will it feel like sitting in the front row seat and uncomfortable?

The other consideration is a comfortable field of vision.. which is around 30-40 degrees..

The chart should be able to provide you the information you require
