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 2.5 meters.

2

Calculate the ideal size

For 2.5 meters, divide the distance in inches by 1.5. This gives you approximately 66 inches as the ideal diagonal screen size.

3

Consider the range

TVs between 49" and 82" will all work well at 2.5 meters. Go larger for immersive movies, smaller for casual viewing.

4

Choose your TV type

For a 66" TV, consider OLED for best picture quality. Browse our recommendations below.

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

2.5 meters = 98 inches ÷ 1.5 = 66 inches
