How it works
Higher-resolution TVs pack pixels more densely, so you can sit closer without seeing individual pixels. This tool distinguishes 4K/8K from FHD and below to recommend the optimal distance. For a cinema-like immersive feel, check the THX 40° field-of-view distance — noticeably closer than the standard recommendation.
FAQ
Q. Why do 4K and FHD have different recommended distances?
A. 4K packs 4x the pixel density of FHD, so you can sit much closer to the same size screen without seeing jagged edges — meaning 4K TVs can be enjoyed bigger and closer.
Q. What if my living room is small?
A. If you'd sit closer than the minimum recommended distance, consider a size down — sitting too close increases eye strain.
