[Solved] 55-inch Panasonic X-55FX613E at 1.8m-2.2m: Too close or habit adjustment needed?

If you buy too small a TV, the problem with your eyes is actually bigger!

Stop with these theories. If that were the case, 20 years ago everyone would be walking blind...

CRT for 25 years I watched 25 inches from almost 4m and somehow nothing happened to my eyesight....
Nonsense and all.

Unfortunately, watching cable even in HD on a large screen from close range can be irritating.

I am 2.5m from the 55' TV and I will tell you that at first I was surprised by the size. But over time I "learned" to watch. Usually my eyes fly in action movies because I choose some points from the image. Below 1.80 is a bit too close for me... I have similar feelings too. There are fewer things I can "get" from the scenes.

Did the main character finally stop TV or did he get used to it, I just rented a new apartment where there is 2.1 m from the sofa to the wall or 2.5 m to the eyes because the balcony has a built-in cavity, the woman's eyes hurt, I also get drunk sometimes from watching , tv 55 "oled 4k, the head in the tv is sometimes huge.

I too, after switching from watching TV on a 21" screen to a 55" screen, had concerns about the size, but over time I got used to it. The fact is that at the beginning it's hard to watch, but the TV has the ability to change the settings of the brightness and contrast parameters, and here you should look for a setting that does not hurt our eyes. With LCD screens with UHD resolution, you have to take into account that you should sit at such a distance that you can see all the details of the displayed image.

I will add to the topic, because I am facing the choice of a TV set and I do not know if I am exaggerating with the size I was practically determined to buy a 65-inch TV, but the more I read, the more I have doubts. The TV will be placed in a small room (16 m2), 3.8 meters away from the sofa. Will it be comfortable to watch from such a distance, or will I have similar feelings as the author of this topic? Generally, I watch cable in Full HD (source is UPC) and Netflix. So far, I've been using a 40-inch TV for 10 years, and from this distance it's a bit too small. Thanks in advance for your advice.

At 3.8m it can be, I have 3m and 55" and it's ok.

Hello everyone,
I solved the problem by changing the settings. In my case, the movie mode works, and more precisely, I made my image by observing a lot of settings from the movie mode.
As several people have already written here, it is a matter of settings, image, contrast, sharpness and habit.

I have a laptop connected to the TV and the picture is great, the eyes do not hurt even at 360p quality.

Regards

I will add to the topic as a curiosity. In industrial engineering (manufacturing) the rule of thumb is that the distance to the normal field should be less than 4:1, which means that there is no eye movement, no fatigue and work in such an area is done faster - you don't have to shift your gaze from one point to another.
In practice, if we work on a table at a distance of 40 cm, then if we do precise work in a field of 10 cm with our hands, we work with both hands without moving our eyes from one hand to the other. So from 4 m we see a field with a diameter of 1 m and all the details without eyeball movement.
Of course, when watching 4:1 TV, it doesn't have to be preserved, because we don't have to be precise or register and react instantly to all the details on the edges of the screen. The more so that the action takes place rather in the middle of it. A good example is a football match - the ball is always in the center of the screen and the match is watched comfortably even from 1 meter on a large TV, because we are looking at the ball, which is not too fast. With hockey it's different, from a short distance you will simply lose the puck if you sit too close.
It is natural that we shift our eyes while watching TV. It's important not to move your head.
Of course, resolution and distance are completely different issues explained earlier.
Just off topic after a few bellows.

Slightly off topic, but I can't help commenting on it...
After all, nowadays all tennis broadcasts happen mainly in the vertical plane - the main camera is placed behind the back of one of the tennis players.
And on topic - it's important that the viewer feels comfortable!!!
For me, 50 inches with 3-4m is not enough. The next TV will be much bigger.

I don't know if you will succeed.

By the way... when one of my friends asks "how many inches to buy" - I answer that while watching a tennis match - I don't shake my head.[/quote]

Before you write something, I suggest you check the date of the post, or read it from the beginning, and not write after a year that you don't know if I will be able to replace it.

I'm closing this thread as no one has anything new to add.

I will repeat once again tv 55 from a distance of 2m is not too big, it is a matter of screen settings and habit.
