What Size Screen Does Your Meeting Room Need?

Use the screen-size calculator to explore a suitable conference room display size for your viewing distance and the content you need to show.

Size the display for your room

Enter the distance to the furthest viewer. These results use the 4/6/8 image-height rule for landscape 16:9 screens. Confirm viewing conditions, mounting and connections separately.

55-inch display

A viewer 4.0 m away reading presentations & video calls needs an image at least 0.67 m high (4.0 m ÷ 6), which is a 54-inch diagonal on a 16:9 panel. 55 inches is the next standard size up; it carries presentations & video calls to 4.1 m.

Before you choose

  1. 01

    Measure from the screen to the furthest seat, rather than using the room length. Include seats at the sides when checking sightlines.

  2. 02

    Choose detailed content for spreadsheets and small text, presentations for slides, or passive video for video viewing. The calculator uses the existing 4/6/8 image-height rule.

  3. 03

    Check mounting height, camera position, reflections and usable wall space. The result is a sizing guide, not a complete room design.

Your questions answered

Does a conference room TV need to be larger for spreadsheets?

Detailed text needs a larger image or closer seating than passive video. Select detailed content in the calculator and check your real content from the back seat.

Does the calculator use diagonal or height?

It calculates image height from viewing distance, then converts that to a 16:9 diagonal and rounds up to a standard panel size.

What if the recommended screen will not fit?

Consider changing seating, adding a second display or using projection. Check wall dimensions and sightlines before ordering.
