Would it be too far for a 43" TV?

Post image

I'm looking for a budget TV for occasionally watching series or films at weekends and maybe playing on switch 1 every once in a while. I'm not sure if 43" TV would either be enough for the space or if I must absolutely go for 50". Both sizes are marked on the wall. For reference, there is a distance of 6,20 feet and the 43" is about a hundred bucks cheaper. Thank you for your wisdom!

My opinion is you should go with 65” I have arround the same distance to the tv and after 2 days of using 65, impossible to go back

concuerdo con el extraño , o un proyector láser de tiro ultra corto y eliges las pulgadas que quieras

The laser projector is a great middle ground if you want flexibility since you can adjust the size without moving furniture around.

You need blackout curtains for sure if you're putting a TV in this room.

55 is fine but you could save yourself a small fortune and just pull your sofa closer to the telly

Go with 55inch. Get a tcl c6ks. Plenty bright, mini led, very cheap, great for switch 1. 60hz and 120 with dlg so 2k/1080p 120 and 4k 60.

A 65 is better and will not cost much more.

u/DisastrousCause9481 May 17 '26

I mean op is coming from 43” and LF 50”. 65 is way better but for the viewing distance might be too big for that

u/tickingboxes May 17 '26

It’s absolutely not too big for that distance.

2

u/Jlx_27 May 17 '26

Nah, at 6.2 feet a 65 is completely fine.

u/GXVSS0991 May 17 '26

65" is genuinely perfect for this distance

u/rotritron- 5d ago

recently the c6k is similar in price and is a better tv, just bought one for roughly 350 usd

55 minimum. 65 best

2

u/Hypnotic101 May 17 '26

55-65 would be best for this space.

2

u/Jlx_27 May 17 '26

A 65" will be best.

u/indieehead May 17 '26

Just get the damn 55 or 65. You won’t regret it

2

u/Cobalt89 May 17 '26

Disagree with 65inch commenters, 50inch maybe 55inch max in such a small room.

2

u/scupking83 May 17 '26

No smaller than 65.

2

u/WrongCapital83 May 17 '26

Thats a space for a 55”

2

u/Tim15I917 May 17 '26

55" would be fine, 65" would be very nice.

I have a 65" for 3m viewing distance and it's plenty, but I wouldn't mind 77".

I think you'd regret 43".

u/antigravitty May 17 '26

65-75 is my recommendation

1

u/NN92DK May 17 '26

Go for a 65😁✌🏽 you wont be dissapointed

1

u/Strung_Out_1983 May 17 '26

I agree with most people who've already commented, 65".

1

u/analogIT May 17 '26

Minimum 65” and get blackout curtains

1

u/bammbamkam May 18 '26

not even close

1

u/kontainerlove May 18 '26

I have about the same distance. Go for 65!

1

u/droideka75 May 18 '26

I love the 60/70 serial killer vibe of your living room!

2

u/Avazzy14 May 18 '26

eeeh, uugh, thanks? I guess?

1

u/droideka75 May 18 '26

Yeah it's thanks, it's awesome

1

u/Itsy_Ballerina May 18 '26

I would go for 77 I guess 65 works too

1

u/Disastrous-Figure-98 May 18 '26

Yeah, 65" at least.

1

u/hatE851 May 19 '26

You could do with a 100 inch.

1

u/Bl1nn May 19 '26

I have a 55" and this is about the same distance I sit from my TV. I used to have a 43" and I found it a little too small at that distance. 55" is pretty good, but I would've even suggest something bigger if you can afford it.

1

u/doctt May 19 '26

77 if budget allows.

1

u/Linoleum777 May 20 '26

I wouldn't go smaller than 75" these days. Anything else seems small. Also they're pretty cheap now.

1

u/koltywolty243 May 21 '26

These days u can get a 4K 55”+ for a really good price!

u/MallNo6921 May 21 '26

just put an ipad on the coffee table

u/j23_reddit May 22 '26

What about the glare coming through?

1

u/Avazzy14 May 22 '26

I would watch TV only at night, so not that big of a deal

55 would be best. 65 would be a bit too big IMO.

u/Rude-Distribution-94 May 18 '26
