Calculate optimal viewing distance by TV size or find the ideal TV size for your room.

Rule
4K TV: 1.0-1.5× screen diagonal। 55" (140cm): 1.4-2.1m। Most Indians sit too far for their TV size! Trend: bigger is better — 55" is new standard (was 32" few years ago)。
India Recommendations
2-2.5m: 55-65"。 2.5-3m: 65-75"。 3-3.5m: 75-85"。 Samsung, LG, Sony, OnePlus, Mi: popular in India。 Flipkart Big Billion/Amazon Great Indian: best TV deals。
⚡ 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.
