The Right Display Size
When choosing the right display size for a classroom, you should always look at two things: the potential size of the display and the distance from which students are viewing the display.
The 4/6/8 Rule
The common standard used for determining screen size is the 4/6/8 rule. This rule establishes that ideal viewing distance, in correlation with room size, should be four, six or eight times the height of the screen for comfortable viewing.
Calculator SimulatorClassroom Configurations
There are typically three classroom configurations—square, wide and deep. The general size for the classrooms is about 89 square metres.

The research was done using a 70-inch class 4k resolution flat panel in a 22’ x 27’ / 22’ x 26’ / 22’ x 30’ classroom-style arrangement respectively. When asked to copy down six short items of information from slides displayed, 58% of students from US, 61% from UK, and 57% from Singapore, aged 12-22, copied at least one item incorrectly.
