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 4 feet.
Calculate the ideal size
For 4 feet, divide the distance in inches by 1.5. This gives you approximately 32 inches as the ideal diagonal screen size.
Consider the range
TVs between 24" and 40" will all work well at 4 feet. Go larger for immersive movies, smaller for casual viewing.
Choose your TV type
For a 32" TV, consider QLED/Mini-LED for bright rooms. Browse our recommendations below.
The Formula: Viewing Distance (in inches) ÷ 1.5 = Ideal TV Size
4 feet = 48 inches ÷ 1.5 = 32 inches
