The formula is 2 1/2 times the screen size so in your case it would be 10' 10".
This is very subjective as some people like to sit a little closer and some a little farther back. You might might want to check the disatance when viewing the television in the store.

A sound bar is great if you like sports as it gives you a stadium like feeling.
I would follow the recommendations given in Consumer Reports as to what best fits your needs.
