TV screen size is one the most important parameters you have to consider when buying a new TV. Many people, however, overlook the fact that for the ideal viewing experience, the TV screen size has to match its resolution and the size of your room. To make the selection process as easy as possible, we have prepared this simple chart where you can find the recommended viewing distance depending on the TV screen size and resolution.

Why is TV viewing distance important?
The viewer's distance from the TV matters because of how the human eye works. If you sit too close to the TV, you can make out the rows and columns of pixels that constitute the TV image, which is obviously distracting. If you are too far from the screen, your eye can no longer perceive the smaller details of what you are seeing. In both cases, your ability to enjoy the visuals is seriously impaired.
