Using the ole standard formula of screen size * 2.5 = distance from couch to screen, I have determined that the optimal screen size for a television for our desired location is 44.5″. So, we could go down to a 42″ screen or up to a 47″ or even a 52″ screen. I am leaning more towards a 47″ or even a 42″ for balance. I think a 52″ screen would feel unbalanced. I suppose if we did go that big, I could put up one of my larger Keith Haring’s. I don’t think I have any that would really fit the color scheme in the room though. I should go look.
