The ideal TV size for a 11 feet viewing distance (about 132 inches / 335 cm).

THX 40°SMPTE 30°16:9 geometry

If your seat is 11 feet from the screen, an immersive THX 40° setup calls for roughly a 110” TV (nearest common size 110”), while a relaxed SMPTE 30° view suits about 83” (the 80” class). Most people are happiest somewhere in between. Because 4K panels hide their pixels, going toward the larger end of that range is usually the more satisfying choice.

TV wall mounts

A good mount puts the screen at the right height and lets you angle it away from glare. Match the mount's VESA pattern and weight rating to your TV, and use full-motion arms for wide or off-center rooms.

Frequently asked questions

What size TV is best for 11 feet?

At 11 feet, an immersive THX setup wants about a 110” screen (closest common size 110”). For a more relaxed view, around 83” (80” class) is comfortable. Pick toward the larger end if you love a cinematic feel.

Is a 65 inch TV good for 11 feet?

A 65” TV is on the smaller side — fine, but you have room to go bigger at 11 feet.

Can I sit too close to a 4K TV?

With 4K you almost never sit too close for pixels — they're invisible at normal distances. The real limits are eye comfort and being able to take in the whole screen without turning your head.

Should I get 4K or 1080p at 11 feet?

4K is still the better buy and future-proofs you, but at 11 feet a good 1080p set is acceptable if budget is tight.
