TV size calculator: how big is too big for that wall?

Nothing is hidden from you.

Every size in the catalogue is here, including the ones your zone cannot take. A television too large for the wall and one too small for the distance are different problems, and both are named.

How the ranking works

Four scores, weighted by what you told us you do.

Fit asks whether it physically works on your surface and rules out anything that does not, with the exact shortfall. Viewing measures the angle it subtends against the range that suits the task. Ergonomics checks you are not looking up at it. Sharpness uses pixels per degree rather than pixels per inch. Every size that does not fit stays in the list with the reason.

Read the method

Where the TV goes changes the answer

On a wall, the limit is the zone you are willing to give it — not the whole wall. Roughly half to four-fifths of that zone reads as deliberate; filling it edge to edge does not. We centre the screen at 107 cm unless you tell us where the zone starts.

On a media unit, the feet are the hard limit: they have to land on the top surface. A body that overhangs the unit is common and only a warning. In a cabinet or alcove, both the width and the height are hard limits, and we keep 2 cm clear each side for ventilation and for getting it into the space at all.

Distance then decides everything else: how wide the picture appears, whether 4K is distinguishable from 1080p from where you sit, and how far up you have to look. Body sizes are estimates from typical bezels and feet — check the spec sheet for a specific model.
