How to choose the right TV size for a 12x15 room
Quick math and local availability to pick the best 55" vs 65" models without overpaying for features you won't notice.
Choosing the right TV size for your room is more science than guesswork. For a typical 12x15 feet Pakistani drawing room, here's everything you need to know.
The Viewing Distance Formula
The ideal viewing distance for 4K TVs is 1.5 times the screen diagonal. For a 12x15 room with a sofa about 8-10 feet from the TV:
- 55" TV: Optimal at 6.5-8 feet viewing distance
- 65" TV: Optimal at 8-10 feet viewing distance
55" vs 65": The Real Difference
In a 12x15 room, both sizes work well. However, the 65" provides a more immersive experience for movies and cricket matches, while 55" is perfect if your sofa is closer to the wall.
