Ordered by the product quality score we publish for each television, highest first — so the figure on every card is the figure the order came from.
The room
How far back to sit from a 40-inch
Will it fit your room?
40" screenSit between 1.2 m and 1.7 m away (4 ft–5.5 ft).
- Closest, cinema-like
- 1.2 m (THX), 40° field of view
- Most relaxed
- 1.7 m (SMPTE), 30° field of view
Worked out from the stated screen size using two published guidelines, SMPTE EG-18 and THX. Nearer than the close figure and a 4K picture starts to fill more of your view than is comfortable; further than the far one and you stop seeing the detail you paid for. If your sofa is closer than the close figure, a smaller television is the better buy.

Before you choose
What to check at 40 inches
Measure the complete cabinet width and stand footprint. A 40-inch search is not interchangeable with 42 or 43 inches; check Full HD versus HD Ready and your preferred streaming apps.
