If your TV looks small or distant from the sofa, the screen is too small for your viewing distance. Here is exactly what size you need.
The most common TV regret is buying too small. At the point of purchase a screen looks large in the shop. At home, from 10 feet away, it looks like a tablet on the wall.
| Viewing Distance | Minimum 4K Size | Ideal 4K Size |
|---|---|---|
| 6 ft (1.8m) | 40" | 43-50" |
| 8 ft (2.4m) | 50" | 55-60" |
| 10 ft (3m) | 55" | 65" |
| 12 ft (3.7m) | 65" | 75" |
| 14 ft (4.3m) | 75" | 85" |
The upgrade is cheaper than you think: The price difference between a 55" and 65" TV is often under $200. When in doubt, go one size larger.
