What Is the Right Viewing Distance for My TV?

When it comes to television screens, bigger is always better, right? While this may be true for most cases, having a screen that’s too large in a room that’s too small (or vice versa) can create an unpleasant viewing experience that results in unclear images, eye strain, and other frustrating issues.

The key to discovering which size television fits best in your room is to calculate the correct viewing distance between you and your TV. However, finding the perfect distance isn’t as easy as you might think—you must account for the television’s size, resolution, and other factors to find the ideal viewing distance.

Fortunately, we’ve done all the hard work for you. Simply enter the size and resolution of your television into the tool below, and we’ll calculate the ideal viewing distance!
