TV screen size viewing distance recommendations

by Blogger on ‎09-06-2012 11:24 AM

With such a variety of screen sizes available today, it's hard to know how large of a screen will work in your room.  While recommendations can vary, the standard* seems to be that the TV should be no closer to the main seat in the room than 1.2 times the size of the screen, and no further than 2 times the size of the screen.

 

Don't join the large percentage of people who regret not getting a larger screen size and refer to the recommendations below as a guide.
