Frequently Asked Questions

How is the recommended TV size calculated?

We use the 4K viewing distance formula: multiply your viewing distance (in inches) by 0.625–0.835, then add a bonus for larger groups. For outdoor parties with 6+ guests, we recommend a projector setup instead.

How accurate are the food quantity estimates?

We estimate 3 pizza slices per person, 6 wings each, 1 bag of chips per 3 people, plus drinks scaled by party duration. These are generous estimates for a sports-watching crowd.

Does this include actual TV and gear prices?

The budget breakdown includes an estimated per-party gear cost (amortized) so you can plan your total spend. The gear recommendations section shows current prices for popular models reviewed by LootNestX.
