Bedroom TVs are watched from 5-8 feet away. At this distance most people buy too large. Here is the right size.
Most bedrooms have a viewing distance of 5-8 feet from bed to TV wall. At these distances a 43-55 inch 4K TV is the ideal range. Going larger creates an overwhelming experience.
| Bedroom Distance | Ideal TV Size | Maximum Size |
|---|---|---|
| 5-6 ft (small bedroom) | 32-43" | 50" |
| 6-7 ft (typical bedroom) | 43-50" | 55" |
| 7-8 ft (larger bedroom) | 50-55" | 65" |
| 8-9 ft (master bedroom) | 55-65" | 70" |
Viewing angle: Bedroom TVs are often watched from a reclined position. Mount height should be lower than a living room setup.
Screen brightness: OLED TVs with their perfect black levels are ideal for bedroom use in the dark.
Most common bedroom mistake: Mounting the TV too high on the wall opposite the bed. This forces you to look upward while lying down. Mount at a height appropriate for your reclined eye level.
