Question What's your screen size and viewing distance ?

Two things many seem to overlook, and I believe should be stated in reviews as well, are the screen size and viewing distance.

I always try to make the most of my setup, and my viewing distance with my Pioneer Kuro LX5090 (50') was 5-6.5 feet (1.5-2m) depending on the quality of the BD, and whether it was 1:78 or with black bars at the top and bottom.
And yes, I also had different audio settings for each viewing distance.

Now, with my new LG C97LA (65') UHD OLED TV it's about 5.8ft (1.7m), which is even closer than the recommended cinema viewing distance, and I might do the reommended distance, as I see every single flaw in my once beloved BDs (macroblocking), but it's great for UHD BDs.

To me it's silly to think that there are so many people that have 65' UHD TVs yet sit 15ft (4.8m) away from it.

What's your screen size and viewing distance in both feet and metres?

I followed this very sensible chart:
