FAQ
What size TV is best for 8 feet?
At 8 feet, an immersive THX setup wants about a 80" screen (closest common size 77"). For a more relaxed view, around 60" (58" class) is comfortable.
Is a 65 inch TV good for 8 feet?
A 65" TV is right in the ideal range at 8 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.
