What Is The Best Viewing Distance To Watch A TV From?

It's really all about how well lit the room is that you're watching the TV in. Watching TV in a well lit room, one tends to be comfortable sitting further back. If you're sneaking around, up late when you shouldn't be, one tends to turn off all the lights and just keep the TV on for light..... meaning you'll sit closer, thus, straining the eyes. It is damaging over a period of years. My suggestion : Say the h*** with everyone (unless you're a teenager) if you're up late, you're up late. Don't be ashamed, keep the lights on and watch late night TV in comfort. Watching TV is not a crime (as of yet) either is being up late. I've always been a late nght owl, so was my Mom. Different people have different cycles and time lines - it's not up to anyone to judge those whose internal clocks run differently. (So long as it doesn't interfere with your job or school.) Even when I had to be up at 7:00am and get to my job by 8:00am, I'd still stay up until 2:00am some nights. Writers who work at home, sometimes stay up until 4:00am or 5:00am. Very common. There is comforting about the darkness of nighttime, knowing all the neighbors are asleep which allows a writer to write. I've known 3 Emmy Winners who kept late hours like these. So long as you don't bother anyone, pay your taxes.......nobody should bother you, harass you or investigate you.
