There’s more science than art to choosing the right size television for a space. It has to do with the relationship between the television size and the viewer’s distance from the television though there are other important considerations. 

Join us to discuss… 

  • Room orientation for television viewing.
  • What’re you watching?
  • How to choose a television size based on viewer distance from the television.
  • Television mounting height.
  • Television mounting options.
  • Cable management options.
  • A note about speaker placement.
  • Lighting considerations.


Don’t just buy the television that’s on sale – actively set up your space and choose a television to make the most enjoyable viewing environment.

As always, we welcome your questions and comments. Click the Enroll Now button to reserve your virtual seat now!
