FAQ
How far should I sit from a 60 inch TV?
For a cinematic, immersive picture sit about 6 ft (1.83 m) away — the THX 40° angle. For a more relaxed, mixed-use setup go to about 8 ft (SMPTE 30°). With 4K you can sit as close as 5 ft without seeing pixels.
What size room do I need for a 60" TV?
Plan for a seating distance of roughly 6–8 ft. The screen itself is about 52.3" (133 cm) wide, so leave a little wall margin on each side.
Is a 60 inch TV too big?
It is a comfortable size for most rooms. If your couch is more than 8 ft away, consider going larger so the screen still fills your view.
