What is the optimal viewing distance for 60-inch TVs?

Is your living room large enough for such a set? Would a 50-inch or 55-inch TV set be more suitable? The chart above will help guide you. Of course, this is only a rough recommendation. You must decide individually whether the distance between the TV and your seat is suitable for you. Ultimately, the optimal distance also depends on the picture quality of the TV. It is best to test "your" distance in a local TV shop. Get advice and an important tip: take your time when choosing! Get a feel for the distance because after all, it is also a big investment.

The rough rule for the seating distance is:

Seat distance = screen diagonal x 2.1

In this specific case, the 60-inch TV has a diagonal of 152 cm. Therefore, the recommended viewing distance = 152 cm * 2.1 = 319 cm = 3 meters and 19 centimeters.
