I am currently sitting at 12 feet away from this TV and it is perfect. To be honest, you could easily get away with sitting even closer I would say 10 feet would be ideal and you will feel totally immersed in the action. You could also move back another 2 - 3 feet and not feel that you are too far away from the Tv. Currently at 12 feet is perfect in my mind to be honest though.

I currently have this unit sitting at 40 inches off the floor on a tv stand and it feels perfect. The stand it is on is just the right size at 75 inches wide and 18 inches deep and 40 inches high. I would recommend that stand diameter. Be careful you need approximatley 16 inches of depth to fit the feet onto the stand, don't go any less than 16 deep or the feet will not sit stable on the stand.

At 9' from screen to chair I was getting queasy watching most any show - like sitting too close at the IMAX. I moved it one foot back and everything was perfect at 10ft. Very comfortable and immersive.

I’m thinking around 12 feet away gives you that theater like presence, but further away still get a really nice big picture effect

The other guy answering this must be crazy, I am sitting 12 feet from the TV and that looks phenomenal, you could easily do 10 feet maybe even 8 but there is no way reasonably sitting 5 feet from this tv makes any sense you would feel blown away and I don't think that is in a good way. I had a chair at 5 feet for one night and I feel that it completely overpowers at that distance. To each their own but that seems way too close to me.

Hi, frank! Recommended viewing distance is 63 inches (5.25 feet). Having the TV at eye level with the middle of the TV screen is often the preferred viewing height and position. ~Ralph
