This chart can help you identify the largest-recommended widescreen HD TV for your room size.
"Approximate Viewing Distance" is given in feet from the TV screen to your eyes. You can of course use a smaller than indicated size, but the immersive effect will diminish. (If you choose a larger than indicated TV, or if you have to sit closer than recommended, then look for the highest native resolution to avoid seeing screen pixels.) See FAQ section B for more on native resolution.
