85 Inch TVs

How close can you sit to an 85 inch TV?

Preferably, you should sit no closer than 10 feet away from an 85 inch screen. Sitting too close to a screen of this size will simply result in an unsatisfying view. In order to take in the full image, you would need to constantly whip your head from left to right. Of course, in just a matter of minutes, this would prove incredibly tiring.

Sitting at the right distance from a TV of this size allows you to adopt a neutral posture that doesn't put a strain on your muscles. So, it will keep you from tiring out.

Just make sure you don’t sit too far away, as this will make the image appear small, putting the immense scale of the screen to waste!

How big is an 85 inch television?

Many people often assume that an 85" TV has a screen length of 85 inches, but this isn’t actually the case. The size actually refers to the distance between one corner of the screen and its diagonal opposite. As such, the length of an 85 inch display will actually be a little bit under 85 inches.

It’s worth considering the full dimensions of a TV before you purchase one. This way, you can ensure it fits perfectly into place, so you can get right to streaming your favourite films and shows.

Is an 85 inch television too big for 4K?

Definitely not! 85 inch televisions are perfect for enjoying 4K content because of their immense scale. In order to deliver high resolution images, 4K TVs make use of thousands more pixels than an average full HD TV. This means that larger screens are perfect for enjoying 4K and even 8K content.

Generally, if you’re planning to enjoy 4K content, we would recommend that your TV is larger than 40 inches.

What size room do you need for an 85 inch TV?

85 inch displays are best for rooms of a larger size. If your room is too small, you simply won’t be able to appreciate the full scale of the image, as you’ll be positioned too close to the screen! This will require you to constantly move your head from side to side to see the whole picture.

Make sure to get some accurate measurements of your space, especially in the spot where you plan to put your TV. This way you can be sure the display fits perfectly into place without trouble. Make sure the TV has room to breathe and isn’t cramped into place, as this will put it at risk of damage!
