How We Calculate TV Size
Measure your viewing distance
Measure the distance from your couch or seating area to where the TV will be mounted. Your distance is 12 feet.
Calculate the ideal size
For 12 feet, divide the distance in inches by 1.5. This gives you approximately 96 inches as the ideal diagonal screen size.
Consider the range
TVs between 72" and 120" will all work well at 12 feet. Go larger for immersive movies, smaller for casual viewing.
Choose your TV type
For a 96" TV, consider QLED/Mini-LED for bright rooms. Browse our recommendations below.
The Formula: Viewing Distance (in inches) ÷ 1.5 = Ideal TV Size
12 feet = 144 inches ÷ 1.5 = 96 inches
