How to Judge the Best Distance For Watching a Large Screen TV
- 1). Set the seating so the viewer has a minimum 30-degree viewing angle of the TV screen. According to Practical Home Theater Guide, "This 30-degree viewing angle has been accepted by many as the standard in home-theater design and motion-picture viewing."
- 2). Position the seats so that the seating position is between a 26- to 36-degree seating angle. This is according to the THX certification standards.
- 3). Set the viewing distance so that it is calculated between 2.17 and 1.54 times the screen width. It is believed that within these viewing angle limits, the viewer enjoys a greater viewing experience.
