Viewing Distance Discussion Thread

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 ?

Chart built by salesman to justify for big TV screen?

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

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?

tbh 50 and 55" does not diff alot...and nowsaday, in mkt...hardly see 50" models.

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

65" - viewing 4K?
2m or even less is fine. At the same distance, 55" will be pretty small.

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 chart should be able to provide you the information you require

Yup, saw that. Hoping someone with real world experience can advise.
