TV Viewing Distance Calculator

Estimate comfortable TV viewing distance from screen size.

Formula and method

This calculator computes Viewing distance, Viewing distance directly in your browser without sending data to an external server.

Mathematical formula

  • Viewing distance: diagonal × multiplier
  • Viewing distance: diagonal × multiplier ÷ 12

Variables and parameters

  • Screen diagonal (diagonal): default value 55 in.
  • Distance multiplier (multiplier): default value 1.6 x diagonal.

Some formulas are undefined for certain input combinations (such as division by zero or logarithms of non-positive numbers). In those cases the live tool displays an alert instead of NaN.

Examples

  • Example: with Screen diagonal = 55 in, Distance multiplier = 1.6 x diagonal, this calculator returns Viewing distance = 88 in, Viewing distance = 7.33 ft.
