Based on the AV industry’s 4/6/8 rule: minimum distance equals screen width; maximum distance is screen height times 4, 6, or 8 depending on content detail. A rule of thumb, not a substitute for a full room assessment.

How to use this

Use the screen size section to work out width, height, and diagonal from whichever one you already know.
Plug the width and height into the viewing distance section to check your seating layout against the screen size.
