Empfehlung
4K: 1,0-1,5× Diagonale. 65" (165 cm): 1,65-2,50 m. Die meisten sitzen zu weit weg fuer ihre TV-Groesse. Trend: immer groessere TVs — 65" ist der neue Standard.
Groessenempfehlung
2-2,5 m: 55-65". 2,5-3 m: 65-75". 3-3,5 m: 75-85".
⚡ CalcWolf Insight
Samsung, LG, and Sony all recommend sitting 1.5x the screen diagonal for their 4K TVs. That puts a 65-inch TV at 8 feet — but most home theater experts (and the THX standard) say this is too conservative. 1.0-1.2x the diagonal gives a more cinematic, immersive experience that fully utilizes 4K resolution.
