What is the best viewing distance from my TV in relation to its size?
Choosing the right size TV for your space is key. You wouldn’t want to get too much TV for your space — it would be overwhelming. By the same token, you wouldn’t want to get a TV that would be too small for your space as that would be, well, underwhelming.
First, let’s take a look at the different size rooms we may be dealing with.
If you have a small room (one that fits 2–4 people comfortably — roughly 12 x 18 feet or 3.7 x 5.5 metres) a TV between 40 and 55 inches should be a good fit and you should sit about 5 to 8 feet (1.5 to 2.5 metres) away for the best results.
If you have a medium-sized room (one that fits 4–8 people comfortably — roughly 16 x 20 feet or 4.9 x 6.0 metres) a TV between 55 and 75 inches is a good choice and you should sit about 9 to 12 feet (2.7 to 3.6 metres) away for the best view.
If you have a large-sized room (one that fits 9 or more people comfortably — roughly 22 x 28 feet or 6.7 x 8.5 metres) a TV of 75 inches or more would do nicely and you should sit roughly 13 feet (4 metres) away for the best experience.
No matter what size room you are working with there is a Dolby-enabled TV and soundbar that will fit your needs.
