    8K content is only perceived by average eyesight at living room distances when screens are OVER 100 inches in diameter at the bare minimum.

    65-75" tv’s are pretty much the standard these days. I’ve got a 75" and I’ll want the next one I replace it with to be even bigger, so 100"-ish will be what I’ll be after.

      Yeah but do you also watch tv from about 1.8 meters away? Look at that chart again.

          Well if you’re watching it that close, sounds like what you want is total immersion. Have you considered an Apple headset? Or something similar

          I like a big screen for gaming too, but just wanted to mention it also means you’ll do worse at games. You can look it up, but a smaller screen gives you better performance, because your brain can properly see everything that’s happening on screen at once.

          Unless your screen is significantly far away that is.

            Thats only if you’re sitting somewhere where you can’t see the whole screen at once. I can see everything that’s happening on my big tv. I’ve found I do worse on a smaller tv/monitor, moved my gaming pc from my 144hz 34” monitor to the 76” 120hz tv Andy results are much better.
