Which TV sizes suit 11 feet (3.4 m)?
83, 85, 98 and 100 inch TVs suit an 11 ft seat best. The 83 inch sits near the small end of the range and the 100 inch in the upper half. The 98 inch lands in the middle, so it is the safest pick.

Is 4K worth it at 11 feet?
It is a close call on an 85 inch TV. 1080p detail fades at about 11.1 ft (3.4 m), right where you sit, so the extra 4K detail is hard to spot. 4K detail on the same screen fades beyond 5.5 ft (1.7 m).
How high should an 85 inch TV hang at 11 feet?
Center it at seated eye height, about 42 in (107 cm) from the floor. Seating distance does not change that height, only the screen size does.
For an 85 inch TV, the bottom edge sits at 21.2 in (53.8 cm) and the top edge at 62.8 in (159.6 cm). Above a fireplace, aim for the lowest mount that clears the mantel.
How big does a TV look from 11 feet?
Size on a wall matters less than the share of your view the screen fills. A 27 inch monitor 2 ft (61 cm) from your eyes fills the same share as a 149 inch TV 11 ft away.
So an 85 inch TV at 11 ft looks about three fifths as big as your desk monitor does. Doubling your distance halves how big any screen looks, which is why sizes climb fast with room depth.
What about other seating distances?
A foot closer, at 10 ft, the 75 and 77 inch join the range. A foot further, at 12 ft, the 83 and 85 inch drop out of the range. Move the slider above, or open a preset page for another distance.
More questions about 11 feet
Is a 77 inch TV too small for 11 feet?
It fills 28.5° of your view from 11 ft, under the 30° minimum film and TV engineers recommend. It works, but an 83 inch screen is the smallest that fills the recommended range.
How far should I sit from an 85 inch TV?
Between 8.5 ft (2.6 m) and 11.5 ft (3.5 m). Closer than that the screen fills more than 40° of your view, and further away it fills less than 30°. At 11 ft, you sit toward the far end, so the picture feels calm.

How we measure
Recommended size = 0.615 × distance (30° of view) to 0.835 × distance (40° of view). Viewing angle = 2 × arctan(half the screen width ÷ distance). 4K detail fades where one pixel is smaller than 1 arcminute, the limit of 20/20 vision.
