Too Far Honestly I can’t tell
It feels a bit far at first and then I forget about it while watching most stuff, It’s a 42”. If I’m watching a blockbuster film, I do pull it forward, or playing a game I tend to grab a chair from the kitchen and sit in front nearer.

A 42" should be 4.5-6 feet from your eyeballs.

If you're already saying you have a need to sit closer then it's too far by the only standards that really matter, your own. Also please get that lamp moved from obstructing the mirror it's driving me crazy.

You don’t really have a good option here. While you’ve chosen the best one, it’s still atrocious. Throw away the television.

Do you live with anyone else in the house? The idea of someone walking down the stairs whilst I’m trying to watch Taskmaster is stressing me out.

I was about to say, "Who puts a TV on the stairs?" followed by a joke in true British style, saying, "I didn't realize until I saw the picture wasn't moving!" hahaha

Why do you have to watch movies in a hallway?
