I have a 55inch Samsung 4k that's a few months old and am trying to find the best distance too. For my TV it's somewhere between 3-1/2 to about 7ft. At 5 ft the furniture just doesn't work...sofa and chair look out of place and to close but the view itself is nice...I like the immersion factor but everything else doesn't look right.

Bottom line I don't think people sit at the closest ranges....it might work in theory but isn't practical in the real world and I haven't seen any photos of people that do. Guess no one will ever get the real benefit of 4k and sit that close and I'm starting to think 4K is BS for TVs at 55 inches. The only reason I got the TV is for the larger size coming from a 48 inch 1080 and 4K is about all that's out there so I didn't really have a choice. I should have gone bigger...65.
