Thanks for the update! The link you shared is for the updated calculator not the updated video. I was able to find the video link from the video description
hello dear sir, you know things or 2 about tv's, can you help me out? im torn between these 2 tv's: the Sony 75X81K and the Sony 65X89K, i know the difference's between the 2, which one would you pick? im on a budget and a Sony fan
I've never seen a review on any subject that was as detailed, scientific and yet very understandable as this. And this guy also gives a ton of great information in a description section. Great job sir.
Missing a lot. I do sit in front of theaters; except looking up to see *any* of it i sit back to row 2 or 4 . I sat 2 -4ft away from a 65 inch for my computer. I also use large screens for presentations with a camera at about 8 ft
I just bought a 65" OLED. Some days I think I should have gotten a 75" mini-LED TV instead. Other days I think "this looks amazing, I'm glad I went with OLED." Other days I think I should have forked-out the extra for a 77" OLED. Basically with so many great options out there it's difficult to avoid buyer's remouse when purchasing a TV. Just try your best to enjoy what you've got.
That's a really good point.
I have the same problem, but reverse. I bought a 65" LCD and I am thinking why I did not bought a smaller OLED.
@@Adrian-bb1bhYou mean you should have go for a 55 inch tv? How far are you sitting from the tv? I'm planning to go for a LG G2 65 inch and my viewing distant is 13 f
@@theomindschrddr7983 Smaller OLED because it had the same price. My viewing distance for movies is 2 meters.
@@Adrian-bb1bh Indeed, not too bright as a LCD for that distant, way more comfortable.
I love how you explain stuff! I do that on my channel for reviews and how tos. I need the explanations not just do this. The why is so important to understand. Awesome content :) helping me with my TV buying
Very informative and sold me on getting a 75 inch TV since I sit 10 + feet away from it. Tanks!
In late 2019, I spent 2 months analyzing info on a new TV. I ended up buying an 85" Samsung QLED in Dec 2019. I love it and my wife loves it more. She didn't want a TV this big for our Family Room. We had a 50" Panasonic Plasma. I mounted the 85" using a MantelMount and am very pleased - we rarely raise it above the fireplace. OLED is great but the larger sizes like 77" can not safely be wall mounted. We can view our 85" from our kitchen and even from my seating location in our Dining room nearly 50' away. My recommendation is to go with size first. bigger the better. The Samsung QLED quality at 4K and HDR is more than sufficient for our eyes (we are over 65).
Buying the 65 inch TCL R635 this weekend. Sit 7 feet away from my current 55 inch and wanted an upgrade but was afraid to pull the trigger because of the price point but after having a 55 for years, time to upgrade!
If you lose one more button on that shirt, you’re gonna steam up my TV.
Jim Dusty haha, that makes me think of the old SNL Antonio Banderas “too sexy” skit. Stop the FOMO: “But I must...”
🤣
😂😂😂
Lmaooo
😂😂😂
This is just a completely awesome channel!!! 2 weeks in, and I am loving my CX!!
Which size ?
Thanks for this video. I was slowly pushing the screen size in my research and you've made me stay humble given the conditions of my use case. You explain things rationally and clearly. Keep those videos coming. Maybe in 5 years, when it's time for another upgrade, I will watch you again to remind me not to have FOMO.
Based off his recommendation I should be buying a 85” tv. I sit 12 feet away and there is no changing it. I had a 65” in mind cuz i want an oled but jumping up to a 77” is a lot more money.
Dude, your videos are so incredibly informative. Thanks for all the sweet intel! Gonna wait until after christmas to see if there are any deals on the QN90A.
Oh man, I've been watching my 4k 55 inch TCL right at 5.5 ft. Calculator says my current angle is 40 degrees. I picked this distance after experimenting between 5 and 7 feet, trying to get that theater-like immersion and able to see noticeable difference between UHD and HD. Turns out intuition pretty darn close to ideal. But you left out a critical factor...vertical height placement of tv in relation to your eyes while sitting/viewing. Center of my tv is set almost exactly eye level. Thanks for the great great tips and calculator.
Over the years, my TV size for each affected room has grown substantially. Increased brightness and better sound systems have allowed me to enjoy more immersive content at a greater distance. Affter six years, I'm about to upsize the living room TV to a 75-inch model for jest the user experience you have helped us come to expect.
... only thing I have herd from tv re-pair man... the 75 '' can dominate a room when it is off ...
Yup...I’m doing it right. Viewing your video 7ft away on my panasonic 65” oled...it’s a visual nirvana my friend...👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Got a 48 in LG CX and wasn’t sure if I needed to go bigger but I think I’m good. I’m sitting about 4 feet away from the tv usually. I went ahead and ordered the bias lighting kit in the description. Hoping that helps with watching with all the lights off.
Yes, at last... this is what I need. Thank You!
This is thoughtful, well considered and very helpful. I only recently subscribed. Glad I did.
120" projector screen for a dedicated light controlled theater room. Have to move eyes sometimes but not my head.
thank you for posting this, im getting a 75'' tv now instead of 65'' ,very helpful in deciding size.
Yep, the worst thing you can do is get something too small, and suddenly you're reminded of what you missed out on every time you turn it on.
That’s what she said ! ..... 😎 that set up was to easy
@@OG1Tipsy 😂😂😂😂😂
@@stopthefomo i got something too big for my bedroom, so ill get a 43inch
Wouldn't it be a bit cheaper just to move the seat/couch a couple of feet closer?
Super awesome videos will keep them coming and thanks so much
Hey... Great Vids! Keep up the good work! I've been watching your vids because I want to upgrade my tv. I have a 5 year old Hisense 55" and I wanted to go all in on the Samsung Q80T 75" until i watched the "Best TV upgrade plan" for 4k TVs in 2020. Hearing that the Q80T is not a step up from the TCL 6 series (2019) and the Hisense H9G made me pause.
tldr I am a casual PC gamer upgrading from a 5 year old Hisense would the Q80T be a good choice?
Cheers! This was interesting! Liked and subscribed! Greetings from London UK!
I love your content.
Even though I bought a TV I like to watch your content cuz you have amazing way of explaining things.
Keep it up 👍🏻
Thanks for turning on the light for me! Excellent points and explanation. Does leave me wondering tho... When you brought up inverse square law, how much of this do you just know and how much from topic specific research for the video? Great stuff either way!
Great topic! For mixed use I prefer a watching distance of 1,6x display diagonal size and for movies somewhat closer - but not closer than 1,2-1,3x display diagonal size.
Currently running a 120" projector at 10.5' (45 degree viewing angle). Switching down to a 100" screen would give me a 38 degree viewing angle. As I'm looking to upgrade the screen soon, I've tested and I can reduce the throw to 100", so this might be a good consideration when upgrading.
Excellent job and vid
Never thought about this
Very interesting video. When I had a plasma TV (1080i) the recommended viewing angle was much further. Now today, it's the opposite. I currently have a 65" curved TV and it's almost 10 years old so I'm looking to purchase a new one. I was just going to go with another 65". But after seeing your video and chart, looks like I'll be going with a 75" tv now. My current sitting distance is around 10.5ft, give or take a few inches. Thanks for the info and the calculator (not happy about spending the extra money though lol).
Anybody else off to buy a tv they really dont need but a calculator says they do lol
Guilty as charged!!!
I the pappy
They tell me I need 80. I thought my current TV was a 65, but it's only 52. I can fit a 65 so that's what I'll get
Need or want?
Lmao to funny I’m looking for reasons I need 85 inches
Very informative video! I currently have a 65-inch Vizio Quantum PQ65F1. I sit about 8 feet away from it. I'm strongly considering getting a 75-inch Samsumg QN90A as I watch lots of movies and would love to have a "bigger" experience. But I'm wondering if that size would be too big and overwhelming. (8 feet is the maximum distance in my den). Thank you!
I enjoy around 41-42 degree viewing angle for movies, and currently game at 50 degree angle on a 70” 4K tv at 5.5 ft for immersion.. thank you for posting this video.. I never knew about the effect bias lighting has on reducing your perception of the same color on screen.. so, since Phillips Hue lighting adjusts to display and extend the colors on screen, doesn’t that make Phillips Hue bias lighting reduce the overall perceived color pop on screen?
Very informative, thanks!
Very nicely put information! little heavy, but nicely done :)
This totally changed my room plan. I will now have the couch at the feet of the bed because otherwise I’ll have to get an 80 inch for my room lol.
haha the calculator suggested me to get a 93" wide tv :D I was like....no, i will move the couch :D
@@parry1 exactly 😂
Holy shit an 80” TV for what? Do you have a cinema in your bedroom? I wouldn’t go bigger than 58” for an average sized bedroom.
@@ATH-camChannelwithNoName My 65 inch looks small if I sit in my bed, also it's wall mounted which makes it look smaller, still see the TV fine but it's less immersive than sitting close. I think for bedroom viewing I think a projector would be great
Or have the TV put right at the end of the bed instead of the wall
There were days when a 29 in TV was considered big! Tv screens have grown so big since then but we have not grown happier 😢
Great video it really helped me figure out which tv was right for me
Thanks for the expert guidance. But don’t you think PPI should also be a consideration in choosing screen size? Smaller sized 4k TVs should look much sharper for their high PPIs. In that respect, isn’t it better to get a 55 inch 4K and sit closer, rather than opting for a larger size?
I got my Samsung in 2020, and it's still running well, amazing. I hope the new TV's hold for so long. It's 55" and when I purchase after 8k moves along a little more, I'll go to a 80".
Thanks for the information!! I'm in the grey area. We'll be sitting about 10 feet away in a living room and need a tv for mix content/usage. The living room is generally well lit, but no direct sunlight on the TV.
Trying to decide between a 65" CX and a 75" Q80T. Another note is that the room is a bit narrow, and the people on the side will be sitting closer to 5 feet away. Is the larger screen worth the sacrifice in quality? we'll also have a sound bar, so audio isn't an issue.
What do you guys recommend for a TV that is facing lots of windows, almost 2-story floor to ceiling?
Almost.
The room is for entertainment.
Therefore light comes in a lot in the morning.
In the evenings, the windows reflections from all light sources also reflects on our current TV.
THANKS and Happy New Year
Thanks, this is very useful!:)
I have a 82-inch Q80r and sit at about 8.5 feet away with a 7.2.2 home theater system. I tried a 65" OLED in the same room, but the huge 82" screen just hits different
This was a great video! It was really helpful. It made me realize I need a 85 for my use.
One of the best videos I`ve seen on this issue.
Great video FOMO
👍🏼
I just move the decimal point to the left ...diagonal size/10
= 39.9 or basically 40 degree every time.
E.g for 77" I sit 7.7 ft away.
No I'm not getting a 100 inch TV based on this calculator 🤣 . 75" is my limit
Hi there! I love your content. I am looking to buy a TV for bedroom. I'll be seated 17 feet, yes 17 feet away. Do you think 75 inch TV should work or should I opt for bigger size or projector?

32' its true
I mostly play driving/racing simulators with steering wheel setup - so I treat my screen like it's a car windshield! That is something specific, right? But it also very much depends on a particular game, what view angle/ position is simulated in-game, and if it is adjustable... etc... Edit: that is why I'm always crying in your comments for "SMALLER HDMI 2.1 tv's" 😀
Now I realise that I need to go for a bigger TV
I like 30° for mixed use and 37° for movies. Now I need to move closer to reach that 37° (with 65") but that's okay for now.
Impressive! How far you sitting?
TNX bro really useful ;))
This video is perfect timing. Getting a new gaming set up and going to upgrade from 50in basic. Need to decide if money goes to smaller 65in OLED or bigger QLED. Guess I'll just measure a viewing angle!
I'm just glad he had gloves on to make a TH-cam video.
Is he germaphobic?
Haha I got the very end and saw that and thought what the hell?
When you gave that recommendation the TV was in 16:9. Is that correct? Is that what I should be using when calculating my viewing angle? Thanks again
I got convinced to go for a 65 inch instead of a 75 inch. I wanted 75 inch beacuse I was scared the 65 inch would be too small but honestly, I'm used to gaming on a 27 inch so I don't think a 65 inch will dissapoint, also they seam to be cheaper so.
65 inch is great. 77 inch would be recommended bij more then 4.6 meters distance. i watching from 2 meters distance its enough. and also 65 inch has better picture quality with sdr content.
@@janduller4722 I actually use ultrawide monitor now. I sold my xbox series x because you cant play in 21:9 with it so I just built a new pc instead. TV is great, the price for size and performance is insane. But I really want ultrawide and curved for imersive gaming and I don't regret.
Hello, first time asking a question. I have a Sony A1E 55” OLED. It is now a couple years old but it had good reviews from you back then. My question is do you think it can handle a PS5 or should I update?
Thanks!
WOW!!😳🤯 , you REALLY opened 👀 my eyes to an issue that I’ve been wanting to know for a LONG....Time.
Out of ALL the other AV Media guys (on TH-cam), you are the very FIRST to illuminate me to this issue (and I know, cause I listen to TONS of you guys - in fact, this one video MADE me Subscribe 😉👍).
Seriously, I have been “Wavering” for the last two YEARS of what size I should get, and the Calculator instantly gave me the right size (and you did it ALL in such a way that a “Baby” 👶 could understand, BTW 👍).
I’ve been eyeing the LG 65 OLED, but, according to the Calculator (since I am at 11 feet away), I should be looking at a 100 inch.
That would mean, that I should be maybe looking at the LG Ultra Short Throw projector, with a 100 in screen.
I’ve been wanting to “Wait” for the Samsung MicroLED (cause I don’t like the OLED Burn-In), but after [ANOTHER] one of your videos (on MicroLED), I decided against it (for now) till these are available (and more affordable).
So THANKS AGAIN (TWO times over) for all of your “Sage” 🧙🏻♂️advice, as you really helped me to cut down the “Confusion Factor” (Significantly! 😂👍) - Keep up the GOOD Work! 👍👍👍👍👍
I totally agree with you about some people are used to the small viewing angles. My parents have a 45'' in the living room. IDK how they can with such a small TV
I sit roughly 11' from an old 65" Plasma. Hopefully the Visio quantum x is good when they release, I was planning on the 85"
thanks. helped me a lot!!
Great, informative video!
Super interesting and informative as always. Thanks for the info. I'm looking to get a new TV for my room. Ready for the PS5. This has helped me a lot in narrowing down my options. 👍🏾
Go for the Sony x900h, it’s made for the PlayStation.
Great advice thank you. I'm thinking about getting a 65" LG c2 for my living room. Sitting about 8 to 10 ft away. Do you have any videos. On tv suggestions for bright rooms? My 55" lg c2 is perfect for my room. Since it's not very bright. Once in awhile I'll have the light on, but it's dark most of the time. The color looks amazing. I was hoping a c2 would still be good in a bright living room. Thank you.
I really like that TV list, FOMO! Can you also add a list of best TVs for sports too?
I’ve always just gone by the simple rule of thumb to sit 1.5 to 2.5 times the diagonal screen size for full immersion. With my 77” LG C8 OLED I can adjust my full motion mount so that the TV is anywhere from about 10.5 to about 8.5 feet from my viewing distance. When the mount is fully extended I have had zero issues with turning my head and I find that, especially for gaming, that the immersion is second to none. If I could switch to an 88” OLED or a 95” Sony Z9G I probably would.
When it comes to home theater it’s my experience that you can’t have a screen or a subwoofer that’s too big😂.
Wow, the TV size needed is bigger than I expected. Now I just need to convey this to my wife. "It's to prevent eye-fatigue, honey..."
Hahaha 👍🏾
Man it says i need a 65” tv but the lg cx 55” vs 65” is essentially nearly double the price. I will probably just stick with the 55”
Dude, I got a 49" and I'm usually seated 9 feet away! I'll be getting a 65" and apparently I gotta move at least two feet closer! Wow!
I know I had plans for a 65” and I can’t move closer with the house layout I guess I gotta break the bank for the 77”
I have a 85 FALD TV and i couldn't be happier. I absolutely agree that you should not have to turn your head if you watching movies but even with 85inches its not the case with a "normal" distance (about 9 feets). I have a very good immersion feeling without any problems.
I read one time for 4k your distance should be around the diagonal of the tv for best immersion experience.... maybe its a bit to much but i think it will be already a good start without needing a calculator.
@stop the fomo - Your references to bias lighting made me look up an item I was considering adding whenever I get a new gaming tv, the hue play hdmi sync box. When I looked up the specs however to understand how it would work, I see it says it’s hdmi 2.0b, so if I plug in a series X later this year or next I’m guessing that means I won’t be able to send my 2.1 hdmi signal from the series X to the TV or am I missing how this would work?
Excellent, thank you 🙏
Hey mate love your channel! If I want size over quality, do you have thoughts on QN90B 85' vs c1 83' vs TCL 98' 2022 🙂 I currently own an LG c9 65'
Just bought a 65 Sony A8H for 1800. Was gonna go with the 55 but i think 65 is the sweet spot
Great Video !
Great video and explanation FOMO! What effect does the height of the TV make to distance? I have a 65” Sony A8H OLED and the middle of the TV is at 64” from the floor and a viewing distance of 8-3/4’.
I have the same viewing distance - is the 65' oled "enough" or should I get a 75?
At cinema I love close, but sound is to high then.
My old TV 26” and and 15 feet away 😂
great video man!
Been watching this channel for a while, on and off - and this video was the convinceer to finally subscribe...!! 😊
I'm in the process of upgrading my home entertainment system, as we moved house about 18 months ago, and and only just now finishing up on getting everything where we wanted it to be (new bathroom, etc - now done!), I've gone from sitting 4 feet away from a 50 inch TV - to 10 feet away from the same TV...!
In my head, I was thinking either 65 inch or 75 inch TV - but knowing my liking for overkill, I thought 75 (maybe 77?) inch was the way to go. Imagine my surprise when I saw this - and checked out that calculator - only to find that I was absolutely bang on??!! 🙂
I am now considering an 85 inch - just for the overkill factor...!! 😁
Only problem is, my girlfriend is unlikely to go for that - and I'm still trying to convince her that 75 inches is NOT too big...!!! 😂
I might just buy an 85 incher, and tell her it's 77 inches (especially as she only JUST discovered that the measurememt is taken on the diagonal, and NOT on the length - she thought I was gonna upgrade to a 55 inch TV, bless her...!!)..!! 😂
Thanks for confirming my thoughts on this matter - I might just have to show my partner this video as the real convincer (but NOT the comments section!! 😂)...I'll just have to make sure that she doesn't get up in the middle of the night to measure the TV afterwards...🤣
On biased lighting. I find during the day that white works great but in the evening I set min to a "dark" green! Just slightly radiating from behind the TV.
I have a 65" tv and in my old house we sat closer and it felt fine, now we are in a bigger house it feels so small, will probably go 75" for the next tv once 8K prices go down
To truly feel the improvements from 8K, go with 85" or larger as even at 75" you won't experience resolution improvements unless you're 6 feet or closer. So you're definitely fine with 4K at 75" unless you're sitting closer than 6 to 7 ft. - highly recommend 77" OLED as this will be better than any 75" 8K non-OLED TV.
Are your tv's you review on youtube, strait out of the box or do you calibrate them first?
What size would you recommend while not on a budget if I get an 8K tv where mostly I will be playing video games on Xbox series x and PS5?
What TV do you think I should buy. Looking for 75 inch. Willing to spend up to $1,500. I seen videos of the TCL R646, LG UN9070AUD or Samsung Q7. Thank you
I sit approximately 12 feet in the center from my TV. What size/kind of TV do you recommend? I’m in a mostly dark room.
Great video tutorial.
I do sit in front of theaters; except looking up to see *any* of it i sit back to row 2 or 4 . I sat 2 -4ft away from a 65 inch for my computer. I also use large screens for presentations with a camera at about 8 ft
I just want to know is the width of LG TV's like the CX is 139 cm and it's the same of 55 inch or not? I'm confused I hope some one help!
Are curve tvs worth it for gaming and everything else
hello,
i wanted to buy a 75 inch tv. But after I saw a comparison on the pixel density and therefore bluryer image im not convinced anymore to buy a 75 inch.
Is it realy noticable if you watch from lets say 2-3 or more meter?
Thanks
I have a 32 inch wide screen format TV. I checked out the THX calculator and it looks like I'm sitting about the correct recommended distance (five feet) from the TV. This calculator is sure handy. It's a bit more sophisticated than the method I was using before of 'If I can read the ticker at the bottom of the screen during a football game, I'm close enough' :) I noticed on the chart that I should/could sit farther back for SD content than for HD under the 'visual acuity' heading. In that case, I've certainly got things set up right, even if I watch from a chair that is next to the couch and a big farther back from the screen, since most of the content I watch is at 720p or lower. My current TV is capable of 1080p, but I've noticed that some TV channels on it are only broadcast at 720p and that my Nintendo WiiU (my most 'next gen' console) caps out at 720p. The only time I really see anything in true 1080p for longer duration than a TV show is when I watch a Bluray movie on my player which can go as high as 1080p.
The biggest thing determining the distance that I sit from my TV is the length of my shortest cords from my game consoles. I need to keep the couch close enough to be able to play the games without tugging on the cables too hard. The limiting factor there is my Atari 2600.
Very informative, yet easy to follow video. I like all the links below too.
I would love a video on projectors. There's not as much content on this as TVS and I would love to see your input
Hi, do you think 86" is max size for affordable tv's
Should i get the latest Philips 7374 or samsung 8500? please reply
65" or 75"?
I'm currently in the market with a budget for either of these sizes. The TV will be eventually placed around 6 feet away from the sofa set and around 12 feet away from the bed. Basically, I live in a studio unit wherein my sofa is at the foot of my bed wherein both the bed and sofa are facing the wall where I plan to mount the TV.
What's the best size between the two for this kind of set-up. The thing is that the 75" might be too big when I lounge/play in the sofa yet the 65" might be small when I end up watching a show/movie in bed before I sleep.
Any recommendations?
Hi.. Want to buy 65 inch sony X80K and distance of the TV from my couch would be around 8 ft, do you think it will be fine? Or should I go with smaller TV?
Currently have a 65" and looking to upgrade to a 77". Sitting distance is 11ft. On the 65", especially watching movies with wider aspect ratios than 16:9 content, looks a little small. Hoping the larger size will give a slightly more immersive feel to the experience.
did you ever upgrade?
@@Mayhemz.95 Yes, went with Sony 77" OLED
@@SoniclayersMusic how do you like it? Hear Sonys are quality
@@georgekelly5987 It is awesome! There is just something about how Sony does color.
Try 77 inch at 8 feet away. Am sure it will be much better.
Hi there, Just picked up a 75 inch Q90T, The links provided for bias lighting dont seem to have options for tvs of this size. Can you please recommend a bias lighting kit that would suit the 75"??
Excellent info..
I have to get a 75" tv for a new house we're building. It's going in a family room that will have a decent amount of light. We won't be gaming on it. Only streaming Netflix, prime, Disney, etc ... sound will be supplied via built in surround sound. Wanted to be right around $2k on the high end before tax, shipping, etc. But could pay more if it calls for it. Suggestions??? Need to buy like tomorrow ! Thx.
My current distance is about 11ft and I was looking to buy a 77" LG C2 OLED, would a full swing mount be able to bring the tv about 2 ft closer? I can slightly scoot my couch up if I had too. Should I just send it and get the 83? Only problem is it's $1200 more lol.
Please please may you tell what q70t differs from q95t ? Short answer is enough longer better
Thanks Dude!
Hi Fomo, I’m in the market for a 55” 4 K TV. I’m looking at the LG 55” Series 85 Nano. I know you like Samsung. Can you recommend a Samsung Model. I’m thinking that it’s the Q70T. Am I correct? I mainly watch Fios TV and stream. I have an XBox One S for gaming and Blu-ray watching. I want to be able to watch 4 K Blu-rays. Thanks.
