How to choose your ideal viewing distance
Is sitting too close to a TV bad for your eyes?
Sitting too close to a TV does not damage your eyes, even with modern large screens. However, being closer than recommended can cause eye fatigue or discomfort over long viewing sessions.
Higher-resolution TVs (like 4K) allow you to sit closer without seeing individual pixels, which is why recommended distances are shorter compared to older TVs.
