FAQ

What if my room is too small for the recommended distance?

In smaller rooms, prioritize higher resolution TVs (4K or 8K) which let you sit closer without losing quality.

Can I mount my TV higher than eye level?

While possible, mounting too high can cause neck strain. Use tilting mounts to angle the screen downward.

Does screen size affect viewing distance?

Yes, larger screens require a greater viewing distance to avoid eye strain and see the full picture comfortably.
