TV Size and Viewing Distance Calculator

Estimate recommended near and far seating distances using your TV size and typical content resolution.

Recommended Seating Range

How to Use

  1. 1

    Enter your TV diagonal size in inches.

  2. 2

    Select primary content type: 4K or 1080p.

  3. 3

    Use the output range to place your couch/chairs for comfort and detail.

Formula

For 4K: Distance range (in) = TV Size x [1.0, 1.5]
For 1080p: Distance range (in) = TV Size x [1.5, 2.5]

These multipliers are practical guidance ranges and can be adjusted by personal preference and eyesight.

Disclaimer: This tool provides planning estimates. Final seating depends on room depth, field-of-view preference, and display brightness.

Tip

If subtitles feel too small, sit closer within the recommended range or increase UI/subtitle scaling.
