How far do you sit from your TV?

crutchfield provides the below chart

Are you sitting in the prime (optimal) spot for your TV? (relative distance from your seat to the TV screen)?
 
10 ft- here 51" Samsung Plasma
 
13 ft for my 75 inch LED TV. Which is within the threshold. :)
 
We’re about 11 ft. from our 50” 720P Pioneer Plasma.

Honestly, I think their recommendations for 4K TVs are out to lunch. The distances are so close that with more than two people, you’d have to have a separate TV for every viewer: With three people, the outer two would be severely off-axis.

That is a good point Wayne.. I suspect they are assuming one viewer and using that one individual who is sitting in the middle right in front of the TV..
