How We Calculate TV Size

1

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.

2

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.

3

Consider the range

TVs between 24" and 40" will all work well at 4 feet. Go larger for immersive movies, smaller for casual viewing.

4

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
