TV Viewing Distance Calculator

The calculator needs three pieces of information.
  • How far you sit from the screen, measured in feet.
  • The second is what shape your screen is.
  • The third is screen size.  You may enter either the diagonal screen size or the screen width.

If you do not specify a viewing distance, the calculator will tell you what the optimal seating distances are for the selected screen size.
