How far away should you be to watch this tv properly? I have a small living room.

So do I. You can stand right in front of it, and the picture is so clear you wouldn't believe it. No worries.

Sorry, I did not purchase this set in 65". I can't help your with your question. My living is quite large and a 55" is more than compatible.

I purchased a 55-inch Samsung, and I sit about ten feet away. These TVs are not like movie screens. You can sit pretty close. Hope this helps.

I'd recommend 5 to 6 feet. If you're too close, you'll have to move your eyes constantly.

It's very short - like 2 feet. You won't be able to really see your TV if you're laying down. This is better for a living room where it's far from where you're sitting.

Mine is great. The picture is very good. I mean that because I have a panasonic 65vt50 and after watching that I can still enjoy watching this one. So it most not be that bad if my eyes can stand the change from the best you can buy to this tv. It's currently in my bedroom

I sit about 14 to 15 feet away from my KDL-70R550A and the picture is OUTSTANDING with HD programming. The only time I see any lines or distortion is when I get very, very close to the screen, about a foot away.

This tv does not have the loudest sound quality so depending on how far you will be from the actual tv, you might not be able to hear the sound.

M. Robel... Thanks for the reply. Seeing the tv in the store makes me agree with you. There are just so many posts out there on the internet that say it might be too big, and then you have the ones that give you such a huge range of size to distance ratio and it makes it difficult to decide when you are spending that much money. I appreciate your reply, and am definitely going to to with the 46".

hey man bottom line go bigger that 120mhz is a gimmick I have this tv, you will NOT go wrong with the 46". Believe me! I had the same debacle as you. 46" is the way to go

My sitting position is about 12 feet away from the TV. You might think that is too close for an 80"; but the picture is razor sharp at that distance. I watch a lot of Blu-Ray's and football - both are outstanding. I really could not ask for anything better! Bob

Not the best way to watch movies with that size but the tv looks great check out cnet. Com the review is spot on good luck

Read this article: http://www.hdtvtest.co.uk/news/pn64h5000-201403143657.htm. It does the best job summing up the TV. Yes, when I am 2 feet from the TV you can see the honeycomb effect. I don't watch the TV at this distance. At 5' it noticeably less it and by 10' it is not noticeable at all. Admittedly it did bug me a little at first every time I would walk in front of the TV, but now I am fine with it. Movies have been awesome and I didn't have to shell out over $2k to get a 240Hz LCD of the same size. I didn't need a smart TV w/my Blu-ray player and have an Onkyo TX-NR818 in a 7.1 config for sound. I definitely prefer the plasma refresh rate with no ghosting with fast action on the screen.

I have the same situation I sit about 30-40 ft away from the tower and it is on the other side of the wall the range worked spotty. However I got a ups extent ion cable and ran it thru the wall with my hdmi cable that went to the tv and it works fine.

I have a 120" screen, our couches are 14 feet from the screen at it looks really good. Also remember it will depend on your source. Broadcast TV will not look as good as a blu-ray or HD movie rip. Needless to say people are always amazed when they come over to watch a game.

The picture on my set is nice and crisp. First off use only an HDMI cable. If you are using any other way to connect, you will not have the best picture. If you are using a cable box, make sure the resolution is set to 1920x1080I as many cable boxes default to a lower resolution setting. I had to adjust my setting even though it was a "high definition" box. Hope this helps.

I found the TV must be viewed directly in front of you. It tends to lose the picture quality if watched from the side.

Not sure how good it will be. I have only used it in a "smaller" way. A large TV may need a more powerful range, but you could probably try it and if not to your satisfaction return it. The speaker is wonderful with the computer -- more than adequate.

That is exactly how far off the ground ours is. It sounds really great and ALMOST as good as a true surround system. The TV is at 3-6 ft. and the sound bar is built into a cabinet at the 8 ft. mark.How good it sounds depends A LOT on the configuration of the room and how accurately you run the set up functions during the initial install. We also have a subwoofer cabinet mounted beneath the TV right at floor level and that really pumps up the sound.We really love all the features-iPod docking, wireless subwoofer, stereo tuner, etc. that are built into this unit. It was expensive but worth it for us! That is exactly how far off the ground ours is. It sounds really great and ALMOST as good as a true surround system.

No, that's not too close. You could even go closer if it's for movies from a high quality source (bluray). Mine is about 14 feet away. I would really like a 65 inch tv for that distance, but Sharp doesn't make one. Brightness is completely adjustable.
