Which TV sizes suit 9 feet (2.7 m)?
65, 70, 75, 77, 83 and 85 inch TVs suit a 9 ft seat best. The 65 inch sits just under 30° and the 85 inch in the upper half of the range. The 77 inch lands in the middle, so it is the safest pick.
A 75 inch screen is 65.4 in (166.0 cm) wide and fills 33.7° of your view from there. From 9 ft, TVs up to 43 inch look small in view and 48 to 65 inch TVs look relaxed. At the other end, TVs of 98 inch and up feel immersive.

Is 4K worth it at 9 feet?
Yes, but only just, on a 75 inch TV. 1080p detail fades beyond 9.8 ft (3.0 m), so from 9 ft 4K still looks a little sharper. 4K detail on the same screen fades beyond 4.9 ft (1.5 m).
How high should a 75 inch TV hang at 9 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 a 75 inch TV, the bottom edge sits at 23.6 in (60.0 cm) and the top edge at 60.4 in (153.4 cm). Above a fireplace, aim for the lowest mount that clears the mantel.
How big does a TV look from 9 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 122 inch TV 9 ft away.
So a 75 inch TV at 9 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 8 ft, the 83 and 85 inch drop out of the range. A foot further, at 10 ft, the 65 and 70 inch drop out and the 98 and 100 inch join. Move the slider above, or open a preset page for another distance.

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.
