Size vs Distance: 65″ TV Far vs 34″ Ultrawide Monitor Close

Open in Screen Planner

Go big at 1 m with a 65″, or sit closer to a 34″ 1500R at 55 cm.

Practical Takeaways

  • Wrap vs height: The 34″ closer gives +5° H-FOV (more side wrap). The 65″ shows +9.7° V-FOV (taller cockpit view).

  • Scale check: If you set FOV from your measured seat-to-screen, scale stays 1:1 on both. Don’t judge by “dash size” alone, judge by correct FOV and comfort.

  • Practicality: The 65″ is +66 cm wider; great for mixed use. The 34″ curved keeps width tight and still restores peripheral awareness.
