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 50-inch
Will it fit your room?
50" screenSit between 1.5 m and 2.1 m away (5 ft–7 ft).
- Closest, cinema-like
- 1.5 m (THX), 40° field of view
- Most relaxed
- 2.1 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.
