Q: What’s the best distance to sit from a 4K TV?

A: If you're wondering what size TV is right for your room, it largely depends on where it will be placed. The easiest way to calculate your ideal TV viewing distance is by multiplying your TV screen size (diagonal) by 1.2.

Ideal TV viewing distance calculation:

(Diagonal TV screen size in inches x 1.2) / 12 inches = Ideal TV viewing distance in feet

(32 inches x 1.2 = 38.4 inches) / 12 inches = 3.2 feet

• 32-inch 4K TV -> 3.2 feet
• 40-inch 4K TV -> 4.0 feet
• 42-inch 4K TV -> 4.2 feet
