## Use
Open the calculator page and enter values. Query-string parameters can restore and bookmark a calculation.
Example: https://askcalculators.com/calculator/tv-size-calculator/?screenSize=55&resolution=4k

## Inputs
- screenSize: Screen size; type=number; required; default=55; min=10; max=200
- resolution: Resolution; type=select; required; default=4k; values=4k|1080p

## Outputs
- recommendedRange: Suggested viewing range; format=text; primary
- minimumFeet: Closer distance; format=number
- maximumFeet: Farther distance; format=number
- minimumMeters: Closer distance; format=number
- maximumMeters: Farther distance; format=number

## Formula
Viewing distance = screen diagonal × resolution range

- 4K / UHD: 1.0× to 1.5× the diagonal
- 1080p / Full HD: 1.5× to 2.5× the diagonal

This is a general planning range. Room layout, eyesight, content, and preferred field of view can change the best distance.

## Rules
- Empty optional inputs are undefined, not zero.
- Hidden conditional inputs are ignored.
- Do not invent missing required inputs.

Notice: Viewing-distance guidance varies by source and viewing preference. Use this result as a planning estimate.
