Building a game room is not just buying a TV and putting a sofa in front of it. When the right viewing distance, seat height and light temperature come together, the same game becomes a completely different experience.
1. Decide the distance first, then pick the screen
| Sofa – TV distance | Recommended screen | Model |
|---|---|---|
| 2.0 – 2.5 m | 50 – 55" | Single VIP sofa |
| 2.5 – 3.5 m | 55 – 65" | Double VIP sofa |
| 3.5 – 4.5 m | 65 – 85" | Quad VIP set |
The rule of thumb: ideal viewing distance is about 1.6 × the screen diagonal.
2. Seat height and eye level
The centre of the screen should sit at or 10–15 cm below your eye level. Our sofas have a 42 cm seat height, putting an average adult’s eyes 105–115 cm off the floor.
3. Match sofa width to the room
- Wall under 3 m: Single sofa (90 cm)
- 3 – 4 m wall: Double sofa (170 cm)
- 4 m and above: Quad set (280 cm) or an L layout
4. Lighting — the most neglected part
Playing with the ceiling light on creates glare; playing in total darkness tires the eyes through contrast. The answer is bias lighting: indirect, low-intensity light from behind the screen and around the seating area.
- Racing / sports: cyan or white at 60% brightness
- Horror: red or purple at 20%
- Movies: warm amber at 30%
5. Cables and charging
- Put the console next to the TV, not the sofa.
- Use the built-in USB-C ports for controllers.
- Route power through the channel behind the sofa.
6. Sound
Soundbar under the TV, subwoofer 20–30 cm off the wall, rear speakers 60 cm behind the seating line and 30 cm above ear height.
7. Installation checklist
- Measure the wall and plan distances
- Locate power and network points
- Mount the TV
- Place the sofa and lock the modules
- Connect the RGB adapter and pair the remote
- Calibrate audio
- Tidy cables and test
