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 3 meters.

Calculate the ideal size

For 3 meters, divide the distance in inches by 1.5. This gives you approximately 79 inches as the ideal diagonal screen size.

Consider the range

TVs between 59" and 98" will all work well at 3 meters. Go larger for immersive movies, smaller for casual viewing.

Choose your TV type

For a 79" TV, consider QLED/Mini-LED for bright rooms. Browse our recommendations below.

The Formula: Viewing Distance (in inches) ÷ 1.5 = Ideal TV Size

3 meters = 118 inches ÷ 1.5 = 79 inches
