On the couch by the TV, in a chair by your desktop, on your bed with a laptop..? I usually prefer sitting by the couch by the TV and don't really get how people can just survive having a laptop, or to sit in an uncomfortable chair by one's desktop.

On my bed on a tablet. I actually hate big screen TV because it looks fake to me. Tablet sized lets me get into the scenes.

Most common TV mistakes:

The TV should sit at eye level. Most people install TVs way too high which makes it uncomfortable to watch.
The size of the TV depends on how far away you are seating from it. Most people can't afford a large enough screen or mistakenly sit way too far.
Finally, disable all the common fancy anti-features that smart TVs have. Like motion smoothing, noise reduction, automatic luminance and contrast, among others. This is the one that makes TVs look fake. Known as the soap opera effect. And it can also make great detail and film grain (specially on 4k) turn into an ugly playdoh like texture, turning actor's faces into plastic.
