xneox · 07-07-2009, 09:53 PM

About 9-1/2' from [what will be] the 50" screen to my eyes.

12' from the 30" 1080i CRT in Family Room West...I'm freakin squinting until the V10 gets here.

MillionDollarMan · 07-07-2009, 10:17 PM

Wow, 24 posts and nobody has added the famous distance/resolution chart! Well, I won't be the one to do it. For me, I'm about 11' from a 58" set. Works well for me.

Im about 13 ft from my 52'' tv but I plan to get a projector and get an 80'' screen so I should be fine

Deciazulado · 07-08-2009, 08:34 AM

So far the average seating distance is 3.6 PH, which is like sitting in the last row (or farther back for Scope movies) of a theater following THX TAP recommendations.

Kryptonic · 07-08-2009, 10:13 AM

6 or 7 feet from my 42 inch plasma.

Blaumann · 07-08-2009, 10:14 AM

I have a 31 degree viewing angle, using a 2 meter wide 16x9 screen and a 720p front projector.

Tempest · 07-08-2009, 11:29 AM

If laying on the slacker sack - 7ft.. if on my sofa... 15 ft.

I hate my living room.. need to get a tv stand instead of the entertainment center I have now and try to re-organize my living room.

HiDef-Crazy · 07-08-2009, 11:37 AM
