Hi 👋 thanks a lot for your video. I have 2 meters as viewing distance between the wall where my 4k tv is hung and my sofa. Or 2.20 meters exactly between tv and my eyes. So which 4k Qled tv size do you recommend for me ??? Rooms dimensions : 3.20meters x 2.50 meters
I find the viewing distance based on SMPTE are just too close, especially for day to day content which is the kind of thing most people will get. I'd add at least 1m distance from what it's recommended. Seating close also makes for a bad experience when it comes to content quality, where you can see all sorts of discrepancies inherent from most streaming providers, including digital tv.
Excellent video,well done! I had my eye on the 75"samsung but not completely certain about they distance issue. Your clear concise info was very helpful.

Whilst it may be possible to scientifically calculate viewing distances I think our preferences are dictated largely by what we have become accustomed to. For years we watched, in comparison with today's sets, very small screens at home whilst visiting cinemas with huge screens.
I agree. What size to select depends on whether one wants the cinema experience at home. Remember, only a few rows in any given cinema provide this optimal viewing distance. Does that mean only a few dozen people are enjoying the show? I think not. A lot of people buy a big TV yet they use the set's built-in speakers or a sound bar. Having a "cinematic" screen without the audio to match is never going to achieve the cinema experience.

with that viewing distance...if you buy a high end set, like an OLED..i think you are looking at 77 or 83 inch to be optimal size for that distance...so if you cant swing that,.then get the 65 and then move the furniture or pick a closer chair when watching movies that you want to feel immersion during...

Ultimately its a personal preference. If you like to be fully immersed in the game, choose the 55 inch. If you are prone to motion sickness and headaches, choise the 48 inch for less involvement
Hi Sir... Great video.. pls advise i have 6-7 feet viewing distance to TV wall mount in bedroom.. what TV size would you recomend 55" or 65" 4K Sony Full Arrey TV
My recommendations of 0.8 and 1.6 times the diagonal are for a 16:9 screen. For a 2.35 screen you need to replace these by 0.6 and 1.25 times the diagonal. So your first row of seats should be between 7.5 and 15 feet. The closer the better!
Very helpful video ! I want to ask something. I have table with viewing distance of 1 meters so what good size of tv you would recommended ? My tv is for office work, gaming, and entertaiment. Thanks !

I recommended 65 inch. At 2.6 m you are at the maximum distance, that might be a good idea if you also use the tv for gaming. 55 inch is too small for movies. 75 inch would be better for movies, but might make you seasick while gaming. 65 is a nice trade-off.

It is not too close. Eye strain can occur if you watch the TV in a dark room. If your room is pretty dark, try watching the TV with some of the lights on. But, make sure that the lights do not reflect off the TV screen.
Moving into a new apartment next week & my living room size as far as the length on where I want to put the tv is 2.4 meters. Do you think the LG nanocell 86”-88” size to big for that living room & if so what tv size would you recommend ?
It is not too big. 88 inch equals 2.23 m, so at 2.4 m you are at a distance of 1.08 times the diagonal. That is within the recommended range of 0.8 to 1.6. Not too close and not too far away.
I would like to ask about desktop PC monitor. I have a 32 inch 4k monitor, so the best viewing distance should be 32 X 1.6 = 51 cm away from the screen?
The TV in my living room is in a fixed place at 7m distance. Reorganizing the room would be a hassle soo i was thinking of getting a bigger tv 75" to be exact instead of the 55" i have right now. Would it improve the viewing experience drastically or by a small margain? I wouldn't want to spend around 1000€ just to be dissapointed again...
Well, you probably realise that you are way too far away from the screen. Upgrading to 75 inch will give you a bigger picture, but you still won’t get a heightened sense of reality. For that you need to be at about 3 m. You also won’t be able to see all the details in a 4k or even in an HD picture. Sorry to say, but for me that’s not much of an improvement.
My TV size is 55 inch. I’m sitting 3.2 meters away from my TV. Conclusion: not the right combination. So I need a bigger screen next time. Nice video, clearly explained. Allthough most TV’s nowdays are 4K, most people (including me) don’t need it in the way they don’t see the real difference between 4K and HD at their usual viewing position. I’m very interested in your opinion on OLED and QLED. Maybe in one of your next videos.
On my previous home I had a 4k 55" curved at 2.7-2.8m....it was ok. Now with a 4k 55" flat at 3.0-3.2m I feel more relaxed at this distance. Watching TV or regular content (while eating sth and scrolling on insta/fbk from my tablet) felt better in a way. I tried it at 2.2m and it felt kinda weird, it was only good if I really wanted a very immersive experience from a movie or a game.
Absolutely true, my recommendations are for watching movies. Other content might be too much in your face at these distances. Personal preference also plays a role.
@@OptimalAudioVideo it might be a good idea to add this point to the video that recommended sizes are for a cinema at home kind of experience but for day to day viewing smaller may be better based on personal preference
The LG is a 4K TV which means that you can sit as close as 0.8 times its diagonal. At 2 m the maximum size of your TV would be 2.5 m or about 100 inch. So the 86 inch LG at 2 meters viewing distance is fine.
have exactly the same, 2.7-2.8 meter. And i make the TV go back and forth around 10-15 cm. 65 seems kinda too big here, but 55 to low. But my favourite model is not available in a size btween

I am 2,2 m distance.... Thinking between 55 or 65. I think 65 is too big for gaming at that distance...
@@lucasenfoco 65 is not too big at all at this distanced....
@@eftiprwtopapadakis9310 really? I don't want to move my head all the time like if I was viewing a tennis match 😂😂
@@lucasenfoco on a 2.2 m distance you won't. Though I understand your concerns since I am struggling between a similar choice but a 65 inch is pretty safe for 2.2 m
@@eftiprwtopapadakis9310 I Just bought the q70a! 65 inch.... Waiting for the delivery =) Thanks for sharing Your experience
just got a sony bravia oled tv 65 inch. mounted on wall sat at distance of 3,50 m and eyes really hurt and stomach upset, feels too close , is it ? pls pls advise ..
It is not too close. Eye strain can occur if you watch the TV in a dark room. If your room is pretty dark, try watching the TV with some of the lights on. But, make sure that the lights do not reflect off the TV screen.
lgc1 77. My couch is 5ft from the tv when watching movies. video games I sit 7ft.
So my big question after I ordered the lg cx77 was wether 3.20m viewing distance is going to be to close . So it seems I’m good . Hopefully
Definitely not too close for watching movies. You will enjoy it.
Thanks for answering, even for 1080p material . The lg is ups calling anyway . But I hope it’s a good distance . 🙏
@@Tido20 How did this turn out?
77inch 4k view distance 2.56m. does it consider small because we have not include the black bars on top and bottom for movies that are 2:35:1?
Thanks for sharing. Seems like a good distance to me.
Is 71''- 75'' size TV good for 3 meter distance?
Yes, that will be ok.
what is the ideal distance for 40" TV?
Hi
I want to buy a 43 non 4k resolution
What is the best watching distance?
I would suggest 1.6 times the diagonal, thus 1.74 m or 5.7 ft.
please someone answer me...i have a 4k TV size 55 ...how many metrs is good to far for viewing when i play games ?
0.8 times the diagonal, which is 1.11 meter.
But not more than 1.6 times the diagonal which is 2.22 meter.
@@OptimalAudioVideo i play far from TV 2,5 or 3 mertrs its good and healthy for eye ?
Moving into a new apartment next week & my living room size as far as the length on where I want to put the tv is 2.4 meters. Do you think the LG nanocell 86”-88” size to big for that living room & if so what tv size would you recommend ?
It is not too big. 88 inch equals 2.23 m, so at 2.4 m you are at a distance of 1.08 times the diagonal. That is within the recommended range of 0.8 to 1.6. Not too close and not too far away.
I would like to ask about desktop PC monitor. I have a 32 inch 4k monitor, so the best viewing distance should be 32 X 1.6 = 51 cm away from the screen?
That would be about right.
My TV is Sony 65A95K and viewing distance is 3m
Will Sony 75z9j look fine from 10.5 feet?
Yes, but it would be better to sit a bit closer. Somewhere between 6.6 and 9.9 feet.
The TV in my living room is in a fixed place at 7m distance. Reorganizing the room would be a hassle soo i was thinking of getting a bigger tv 75" to be exact instead of the 55" i have right now. Would it improve the viewing experience drastically or by a small margain? I wouldn't want to spend around 1000€ just to be dissapointed again...
Well, you probably realise that you are way too far away from the screen. Upgrading to 75 inch will give you a bigger picture, but you still won’t get a heightened sense of reality. For that you need to be at about 3 m. You also won’t be able to see all the details in a 4k or even in an HD picture. Sorry to say, but for me that’s not much of an improvement.
@@OptimalAudioVideo i figured, thanks for the feedback!
holy shit thats far from that small of a screen. You couldnt tell the difference between 320p and 4k at that distance
My TV size is 55 inch. I’m sitting 3.2 meters away from my TV. Conclusion: not the right combination. So I need a bigger screen next time.
Nice video, clearly explained. Allthough most TV’s nowdays are 4K, most people (including me) don’t need it in the way they don’t see the real difference between 4K and HD at their usual viewing position.
I’m very interested in your opinion on OLED and QLED. Maybe in one of your next videos.
Thanks for sharing. Good observation about 4k and even more true for 8k!
On my previous home I had a 4k 55" curved at 2.7-2.8m....it was ok. Now with a 4k 55" flat at 3.0-3.2m I feel more relaxed at this distance. Watching TV or regular content (while eating sth and scrolling on insta/fbk from my tablet) felt better in a way. I tried it at 2.2m and it felt kinda weird, it was only good if I really wanted a very immersive experience from a movie or a game.
Absolutely true, my recommendations are for watching movies. Other content might be too much in your face at these distances. Personal preference also plays a role.
@@OptimalAudioVideo it might be a good idea to add this point to the video that recommended sizes are for a cinema at home kind of experience but for day to day viewing smaller may be better based on personal preference
Yes, completely agree.
Nederlands? Goeie video wel, danku!
Klopt! Dank!
Exact immersive experience viewing distance for 85inch 4k tv ????.....
Great video!
I've a 65"4k LG at my office. 2meters viewing distance and I'm happy with it. I want to replace it with 86"LG nano. Is it gonna be too big?
The LG is a 4K TV which means that you can sit as close as 0.8 times its diagonal. At 2 m the maximum size of your TV would be 2.5 m or about 100 inch. So the 86 inch LG at 2 meters viewing distance is fine.
Some people living with f..ing dream life! Dude ship me over your old one if you make that replacement. I have 32 inch tv older than my children
@@OptimalAudioVideo I replaced the TV with LG 77G1. It's just awesome. Perfect size for the distance. Thanks
I'm at 12' with an 85". Oh well, have to upgrade now
is 1.7m too close for a 75" or should i go for a 65" instead ?
75 inch should be fine. Do not sit cliser than 0.8 times the diagonal, which is 1.5 m for a 75 inch diagonal.
Sir what about 85 inch tv
65 inch tv sitting 9 feet from screen. Wanting to upgrade to a 77 inch screen.
Lol I sit 10 ft away for my 55 in tv. No ways can I fit anything bigger than a 65. Guess it sucks for me then
55” I’m sitting about 6 feet away pretty immersive
Thanks for sharing
I have a 55" tv with dolby atmos soundbar system and I sit about 7 feet away
Thanks for sharing.
I sit from 4k 43 inch tv lay from the pillow to wall and its 2.5m or 5 feet
Thanks for sharing.
The most helpful video about this topic I found.
Thanks.
1.6 times thw diagonal makes complete sense actually so in sitting the correct distance tbh lol
For HD video. For UHD you can go even closer.
Looks like my A80J 77inch is ok for 2.8m distance.
That’s right.
I sit 2.7 m away from my 55 inch TV and it's fine. 60 inch would be perfect, 65 inch would be too large for my taste.
have exactly the same, 2.7-2.8 meter. And i make the TV go back and forth around 10-15 cm.
65 seems kinda too big here, but 55 to low. But my favourite model is not available in a size btween
How about 43” how close can I be? Anybody pls?
6 feet
65” inch tv I sit about 9 feet away
Thanks for sharing. Less than 8.6 feet would be ideal.
Please don't purchase 55 inch or bigger size, difficult to concentrate on picture. 43 inch is ok, 32 inch is best. This is my experience
It depend of the viewing distance, but the recommendations are to cloose also for my. But its a personal preference what you like
im about 8 feet away from my 65 incher.
I have a 75 inch
If you watch movies with subtitles, you need to step back, unfortunately
TV size: 0 inch.
Watched this video before buying a TV^^
What about 50 inches?
Well, sit between 0.8 and 1.6 times the diagonal. Thus, somewhere between 1 m and 2 m.
Tennis can’t be much fun 2m from an 85”
True! You could get dizzy if you watch it all day.
65” should be the max for most people. 43” should be the min for most people.
