Person furthest away will be 4 metres, which isn’t an issue.
However, person closest will be approx 1.5 meter from the screen.

Nah dawg, you need 8k at least...

With the resolution size of 4k, you would need to be headbutting the screen before it would be too big. The person at 4m however might as well be watching a 1080p TV though

It will depend on the content, movies, not too big, will be fine.

 

Sports, too big as they are still producing for small viewing angle viewing.

 

TV shows - depends on the age of the shows. New stuff is more movie like but oldies from the 90s and before are all big close shots so that people can see on a tiny 25" CRT from across the room.

 

I have a 65" at the end of the bed and that is about the limit I would go for there. Its great for gaming.

I'm reminded of that old Chinese proverb: No man ever went to his grave wishing he bought a smaller TV.

 

You'll be fine with 65"

 

It will seem enormous first week.

 

Large the next.

 

Normal the week following.

 

Too small thereafter.
