Why it varies

Room size is the biggest driver: larger homes support bigger screens at greater distances. Measurement units (feet vs meters), electricity, apartment vs house living and even climate (outdoor TVs) all shape what people buy. The one constant is the geometry — the THX 40° and SMPTE 30° viewing angles apply everywhere.
