Looking at replacing a TV.
Crutchfield's guide says a 55 inch 1080p would be the right size, given the distance (11 feet) from TV to the viewing area. For a 55 inch 4K set, the same guide says 6.9 feet????
The guide says a newer 4K (better detail) should/can be viewed from a CLOSER distance than the older 1080p sets. It seems to me that if a set has better detail (4K)... then I could, if I wanted to, sit even FURTHER away and still see everything better. What am I missing?
I understand that with the newer 4K finer detail, I COULD sit closer, but why would I want to? Using that logic, I'd have to buy a 90 inch TV to match the 1080p???? viewing at 11 feet?????
Obviously, putting a 90-inch TV in the same location that a 55-inch would fit, would be ridiculously too large. Heck, even I don't think it makes any sense to have one that big, even if I could afford it.
Any comments from TV guys would be appreciated.
