ᐅ Living room with a viewing distance of 5 meters (approximately 16 feet) from the television

Hello,

we are currently building a semi-detached house 6m (20 feet) wide. With a traditional room layout, the sofa would be placed along one wall and the TV cabinet on the opposite wall, resulting in a viewing distance of about 5m (16 feet). Please see the image below!

How have you arranged your sofa and TV stand optimally for such distances, or should I plan for a 65-inch monster TV?

Thank you!

Don’t worry about it. We now have 5 meters (16 feet) and had 5.50 meters (18 feet) in our old house with a 32-inch screen. And we often watch it.

Regards, Yvonne

P.S. You should draw the couch to scale, or is it only 65cm (26 inches) deep? On a second look, this applies to all the furniture... and suddenly it could become very tight.

32-inch wow.. we now have a 46-inch one with a seating distance of 2.5m (8 feet) and it just fits.
Do you have a similar setup for a 5m (16 feet) distance: sofa against wall A, TV against wall B?
PS: The furniture is not yet to scale, do you have standard sizes for this?

Thanks!

A distance of 5m (16 ft) is recommended purely based on resolution for screens larger than 65". This applies to Full HD; for 4K screens ... the screen size. That’s the theory. In practice: How important is this to you?

We have 55 inches and just under 3 meters (10 feet).
For Full HD or higher resolution input, I would go large (70 inches+ or projector).
