How Far Away Do You Sit From Your Telly?
Discussion
No more explanation required - I would do a Poll but it needs multiple options for screen sizes & distances so can't be bothered 
I have come to the conclusion, having wandered around various shops wielding a tape measure that my next TV would ideally be a 60" OLED . . .
Which of course don't exist.
I'm currently sat 1.8m from a 1080p 40" Panny LED which I am quite fond of - but it's time to man up & go BIG . . .
It is that issue where you decide on a 55" OLED & realise you wish you had gone for a 65" instead!
My viewing distance will now be between 2M & can for film nights be backed up to 2.5M.
So whilst I wait to see what Black Friday pricing has in store for me . . .
What size TV do you have & how far away do you sit - Over to you lot!

65" OLED about 2.3m away. I have enough room for 75" which I will get next...but not for a good few years hopefully. Bigger is always better, as long at its flat against a wall. Big TVs in corners or bolted above the fireplace just look stupid.
I'm guessing it seemed too big initially or did you find that to be comfortable viewing right from the off?

32" at.... 3.5m! No wonder I've been recently thinking captions and sports scores are getting hard to read!
See Dicky's post above with the glasses

75” - Proper council size telly but I do sit about 14 feet away from it…
You might think you’re council but you’re the first poster to use the same measurements, every one else is imperial tv size and metric distance. The two should never mix.
Don't be daft

There are very few people that will sit too close to a TV ... they will be well outside of the SMPTE recomended distances and therefore will have lower viewing angles.
One of the main mistakes and one that ruins TV viewing is the height of the TV. When seated, an adults head is around 1200mm from the floor ... therefore, the centre of a screen (TV or projector screen) should also be 1200mm from the floor so that the viewers are looking at the centre of the screen.

So many people spend a fortune on a TV. only to stick it high up on the wall.
Utter durr brains.
Well finally it's happened & I've purchased my new telly, & as luck would have it I got super errr lucky & grabbed a bargain.

I signed up for the LG Insiders campaign not expecting to hear back, not least with a voucher to use on LG's website, but yesterday received an email from The Insiders with a voucher to purchase a 65" C4 at a 50% discount so in the very early hours of this morning, instead of paying over £2.6K, purchased for £1322 . . . Bargain!
Apparently I will have to do some work & write some online reviews as well as a few pieces on my ownership experience etc . . .
I fully intended to buy an end of life 65" C3 from John Lewis & add in their £180 Protect Plus but this was an offer I couldn't refuse.
TV arrives Wednesday & have taken a day's leave for it
