a) It's good practice (done analysis before?) to use an average

b) People don't like being too close to large screens. Those mimimum distances would cut parts of the picture off. 

c) Once again, the rooms in Europe aren't big enough for large TV's. You are saying "just use the minimum distance" not factoring in that many people will most likely not like that distance as it is the minimum distance. 

Either way time will tell but I'm willing to bet big TV's won't take off here. 


Not really, I sit around 2m from my 50" tv, I wish it was much bigger because it looks small.


If that's true explain the cinema then. 

I've a 42" I sit 3 meters from and there's no way I'd want to be closer. I've got a decent sound system for it and to be closer would just be too intrusive. 

And you can bet that 4k TV owners will most likely have similar set up to mine (TV + External speaker) so I can't imagine they'd want to be closer. In fact the $40,000 entertainment room I saw had the couch a good 4m from the 60" TV.
