The Perfect TV Stand and Viewing Distance Guide
TV Size
One of the most common questions that a customer needs answering is ‘will my TV actually fit on this TV stand?’ With TV’s getting bigger and bigger (the biggest commercial TV available to buy is a staggering 152”) it is important that your TV sits comfortably in the centre of your stand.
Here we have the manufacturer’s recommendations for the perfect combination of stand and TV size.
Straight TV Stand
1050mm width – Maximum flat screen size up to 42"
1200mm width – Maximum flat screen size up to 50"
Corner TV Stand
800mm width - Maximum flat screen size up to 32"
1050mm width - Maximum flat screen size up to 42"
When buying a corner TV stand it is important to factor in the size of the TV and how much space there is between each wall in relation to the widest points of the TV.

Optimum Viewing Distance
As the quality of TV’s increases and the picture quality becomes better, it is vital to factor in the position of your TV and stand in relation to where you will be viewing it from. With high definition viewing it is important to be sitting at the ideal distance to enable you to take in all of the clarity and rich detail that the TV has to offer. If you sit too far away you will be missing out on this impressive viewing and not gain all the benefits from a HD TV.
Here is our guide to the optimum viewing distances for average TV sizes found in many UK households.
| TV Size | 720p Resolution | 1080p Resolution |
| 32" | 6' | 4' |
| 37" | 7' | 5' |
| 40" | 8' | 5' |
| 42" | 8' | 5.5' |
| 46" | 9' | 6' |
| 50" | 10' | 5.5' |
*These guidelines are not definitive and can differ between different types of TV (eg Plasma, LCD, LED, 3D etc)

I didn't know there's an ideal viewing distance depending on the TV's size and resolution! I'm gonna keep this chart for future reference.
