10ft is knowhere near far enough away for a screen that size. You failed to do your research and sounds like buyers remorse. Unless you can show it's faulty then you are going to have problems returning what is now a used tv.

Recommended viewing distance is much less than 10ft

Look up viewing distance for 4k screens then come back here with ideal distances

Might help if the OP told us the resolution of whatever it is they're watching.

The viewing distance charts for 4k screens would likely be measured when using at a 4k input.


If the input is 1080i then regardless of the "potential" of the screen you need to use the 1080i viewing distance charts.




To be able to advise properly we really need to know:


- what was the ops old TV (size?, was it full HD?).


- what was the input into your old TV (i.e. Sky SD / Sky HD).

- What is the input are you pumping into your new TV (i.e. Sky SD / Sky HD).



The problem is a HD input on a 50" HD TV is always going to look better that the same HD input on a 75" TV because the picture has to be "stretched" a lot further (regardless of whether the new TV is 4k because the input is the same).


I suspect the Op has fallen for the marketing cack & the delights of a 4k input being shown on a 4k 75 inch display in the showrooms.




I also suspect that if they could borrow a 4k input to test on their new TV that it would then meet their expectations.

Unfortunately bigger when it comes to TV's isn't always better.

The OP has already said what tv they had before and as it was a 4k tv its safe to assume they were already watching 4k content, Its hardly a new thing is it.
Would you expect everyone to move their tv or chair to suit the resolution they are watching lol

A 1080 or 4k display will have exactly the same resolution regardless of screen size so stretching will be exactly the same on both sets. IE a 32" 1080 screen has the same pixels as a 100" 1080 screen and a 4k screen has the same number of pixels per screen regardless of its size
I agree an SD input will look carp but who watches SD these days?

I disagree that's its safe to assume that its 4k content they are watching.


Not expecting everyone to move chairs dependent on the input but the resolution you watch most is a factor to consider when buying a telly.

why would OP have a 4k tv then replace with another 4k tv if they did not watch 4k content?
Its a smart tv so youtube will be able to play 4k videos

70 inch? Jeez. I have what is probably considered a medium to large living room and a 47" TV. A 70 inch screen must absolutely dominate all but the largest of rooms.

Thats your choice to have a small tv just like people prefer small cars to larger ones.
I guess it depends what you consider a large room.

Well, the OP might do. They don't sound particularly technically-minded, and depending on what you want to watch it might not be available in higher definition anyway.

Because they've been taken in by the marketing? Because it didn't seem much of an additional cost to future-proof their purchase?

OP doesn't seem technically minded lol, how did you come to that assumption?
I take it you dont own a 4k tv and still have an old cathode ray tube lol
