Being too close to the set wasn\u2019t a problem for anyone but children sitting on the floor who kept scooting just a bit closer to the set as if the excitement and suspense of their favorite show was pulling them into the set.

It wouldn\u2019t really be much fun if your sofa had to move into the dining room while your TV stayed in the family room just so you were far enough away.<\/p>\n<p>Is your sofa too close to your television set?<\/p>\n<p>Photo: SXC<\/p>\n<p>Post from: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blisstree.com\">Blisstree<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.blisstree.com\/articles\/how-far-should-you-be-from-your-television\/\">How Far Should You Be From Your Television?<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We all used to have dinky television sets and we sat on a sofa that was positioned against the opposite wall.
