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 55-inch
Will it fit your room?
55" screenSit between 1.7 m and 2.3 m away (5.5 ft–7.5 ft).
- Closest, cinema-like
- 1.7 m (THX), 40° field of view
- Most relaxed
- 2.3 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 55 inches
Measure the stand and wall space as well as viewing distance. Compare panel type, native refresh rate and HDMI features; a shared 55-inch label does not imply the same picture quality.
