Or, they have a tiny living room, like I do. If I moved my couch away from the wall to have a walking path behind it, the dimensions would about match that picture. To me, though, that would be the right viewing distance for a 65-inch 1080P screen.

They have no coffee table in their little room (and neither do I). I suppose, if you used a 7-inch TV as your living-room set, you could probably only afford a small room anyway.
