FAQ
What size TV is best for 12 feet?
At 12 feet, an immersive THX setup wants about a 120" screen (closest common size 98"). For a more relaxed view, around 90" (85" class) is comfortable.
Is a 65 inch TV good for 12 feet?
A 65" TV is on the smaller side — fine, but you could go bigger at 12 feet.
Can I sit too close to a 4K TV?
With 4K you almost never sit too close — the pixels are invisible. The main limit is eye comfort and being able to take in the whole screen.
