Sorry, but your opinion about a "reasonable" and "unreasonable" viewing distance ist totally subjective. With your current viewing distance and TV size, you only have a FoV of 20.6 degrees... that's not very immersive (IMHO):
I'm currently ~2 meters (6.5 ft) away from my 55'' TV: http://www.calculator.ff.de/viewing-distance-and-field-of-view/index.php?screen_diagonal=55&seating_distance=6.5&distance_unit=1&aspect=0&idealfov=45 The 34° FoV is okay, but I'd prefer a bigger TV in the same distance... if I'd have more space in that room, I would upgrade to a 65'' or even 77'' TV instead. On PC, the viewing distance to my old 27''-monitor was 0.60 - 0.80 meters (2.0 - 2.6 feet), depending on the seating position. Soon average I had a 46° FoV, which was already very nice: http://www.calculator.ff.de/viewing-distance-and-field-of-view/index.php?screen_diagonal=27&seating_distance=0.70&distance_unit=0&aspect=0&idealfov=45 And since early 2023 I've gone even bigger with an LG OLED42C27, which sits 10 cm farther away on my table. So my new viewing distance for PC games (and other PC stuff) is 0.70 - 0.80 meters (2.3 - 3.0 feet), depending on the seating position. The field of view is now 60 degrees on average, and I fricking love it! I was a bit worried before I bought that display, but I don't feel that 60°-FoV as "too big" at all. Probably because I'm used to a 100°-FoV in immersive VR games (PSVR1, PSVR2 and PCVR). |
But who do you think is the majority? Ps5 PRO owners are not playing on a monitor, they're playing on a TV and likely at distance as people buy TV's that suit a room, I swear if 4k TV's were smaller than 43 inches they'd buy those and all.
