Criteria to consider at the time of calculation

The distance between TV and sofa should be chosen consciously and based on some criteria. So, time to get pen and paper to write down what is important to consider before calculating the distance:

  • Know the measurements: it is important to know the measurements of your space to avoid mistakes when installing;
  • Be aware of the furniture: It is fundamental to have a notion of the amount of furniture and its position in the room. This can directly interfere with comfort;
  • Ergonomics: It is ideal that you do not need to lift your neck to be able to watch TV. The tip is that the TV should be at eye height;
  • Screen size: Another important point to consider is the size of the screen. There is no point in betting on a huge screen if the space is small or the other way around;
  • Angle: The angle is also a point to be observed, so understand a little more about where to place the TV so that the angle is comfortable for those sitting on the sofa.

These points are very important for those who want to guarantee more comfort when enjoying a short movie or watching that soap opera from the comfort of the sofa.

Finally, it is time to calculate the distance between the sofa and the TV, ensuring comfort for the viewers.
