TV Size to Distance Calculator and Science. ANSWERED QUESTIONS. What is the best height above eye level to wall mount TV?

What is the most commonly comfortable tilt angle to set TV on a tiltable wall mountings ? All of Da. Vinci's great paintings, like the Mona Lisa, have subjects' eye elevation located a distance of 6.

There is no fixed answer because it depends on what you are watching. For example, if you play video games, the ideal height would vary between first person and third person games. For TV shows, are you watching a sitcom, or the news? You either want to match the director of photography's goal or the position of the camera. The same thing is true for the tilt angle. Ideally, set it so your eyes are perpendicular to the screen. My viewing distance is 1.

Should it be 5. 5 or 6. Go for 6. 5". I am shocked at how many people do not read the distance/size chart and ask the same questions over and over. Haha, yes. I am planning on buying a 4. D LED TV (Samsung or LG). What is the best option, and at what distance should I sit to see the full resolution? What is the minimum and maximum distance for a 4.

HD TV? I find 7. 8 FT too close in my room. You benefit from the 1. Of course, you can sit farther - you just won't see all the detail (assuming you are watching Blu- ray quality footage). What TV size would be best for the corner of a family room?

Use the calculator above and enter your viewing distance. In a corner, what matters most is the viewing angle of the television. Check out our article on this here and check out our videos. Overall, for an LED, LG offers a better viewing angle than Samsung. I will be sitting seven feet away and am thinking of buying a 5. TV. Does that size/distance sound good? Yes, this is very good, even for 1.

You won't lose any detail. I have a 7. 0 inch LCD TV and I noticed that my eyes are not comfortable watching a TV of this size. I wear glasses and I have checked my prescriptions and they are fine. When I watch TV shows, I feel like my eyes cannot concentrate on the TV, it is like my left eye tends to go left and right eyes go right.

It is a very uncomfortable feeling. My seating distance from the TV is approximately 9- 1. I have told my husband that the TV size is making my eyes uncomfortable, but he said that based on the numbers for a 7. TV, the optimum distance is 9- 1.

Can you help me? Are you watching 2. D or 3. D content?

Also, do you normally have problems watching close objects for an extended period of time (like a computer monitor)? The sensation that you are describing (your eyes tend to go their separate ways) is not really related to the size of the screen, but to the distance.

The closer an object, the more your eyes need to point inward. The muscles of your eyes might not be used to pointing inward (for example, if you do not have a desk job). Your eyes should get used to it after a while, but tell your husband to increase the seating distance if you still find it painful. I am planning on buying a 3. TV and the viewing distance is about 7- 8 feet. Which TV should I buy? Can't decide between a 5.

Samsung Smart TV or 6. Samsung Plasma 3. D Smart TV. Are there any significant issues or differences between LED and Plasma when it comes to 3. D or Smart TV capabilities? Smart TV capabilities are the same because manufacturers usually use the same software on both.

For 3. D, in this case both use Active 3. D. There will not really be any difference if you are comparing a top LED vs a top Plasma. However, if you are comparing a mid- range LED to a mid- range Plasma, the Plasma will have less crosstalk because the TV is able to switch between images a lot faster. For more info, check out our plasma vs LED comparison. My living room is 2. Which is the best sized TV for that distance?

I was thinking a 7. In your opinion, will that make for good picture?

Hopefully your seating distance is closer than that. Right around half of that would be great.

If not, just get the biggest TV you can afford. I bought a Samsung 6. LED TV (H6. 40. 0).

My viewing distance is 1. Am I at a good distance? You are a little bit too far for watching 1. I am sitting at a distance of 7.

HD TV, but I can still see some pixels. Is it normal? Even if your television resolution is 1.

Also, 1. 08. 0p media will have artifacts and flaws - especially if it is a streaming feed or a television show. Algorithms that encode media are not noiseless, meaning the final picture can be blurry and can contain blocks. The optimal distance listed above is for an ideal case. In everyday life (except if you are only watching high quality Blu- rays) you will need to stand farther from the television. Couple questions.

What is the optimal height on the wall for a 7. TV? 2) What is the optimal distance in feet from a 7. TV? 1) This depends on your furniture and seating position. You want your eyes to arrive perpendicular to the screen. If you have a sofa of a normal height, this means the center of the screen is at about four feet from the floor.

Some sofas have a more laid back seating position, though, so you can put it higher and tilt the screen downward. Between 1. 0 ft and 1. I'm sitting eight feet from the TV.

What is better - 7. I'm 1. 0' (three meters) away from my TV and 9. I'm planning on getting the 6. F5. 30. 0 from Samsung. Will that work fine, or do I need to get a smaller TV? I already have a 4.

LED and I'm planning on replacing it with a bigger TV. At that distance and size, you will see some pixels/artifacts when watching 7. However, that shouldn't be a deal breaker, considering the proportion of 1.

I have a Sony 3. 2 inch full HD LED. I am sitting 1. 0 feet away from the TV. Will that be enough to see all the detail? You will miss out on some detail while watching 1. For a 3. 2", you need to sit pretty close (five feet) if you want to enjoy the full 1. Please hear me out.

Rtings has been incredibly unbiased to date and I greatly respect that, especially in today's society. Please keep that up for this: Despite previous studies, I honestly believe that I have developed a new breakthrough method to determine the proper screen size to distance ratio. It essentially proves the studies previously used for this are not entirely accurate in the context of TVs. Again, please hear me out. I generated an uncompressed image containing a plain pure black background, with a single pure white pixel in the center of it.

I ensured my uncompressed images that I generated were 1. I then made variations with different single colored backgrounds and pixels, then other variations with a larger box around the single pixel to help me stay focused on where it is from father distances. I then displayed these on a 1.

OLED (as close to infinite contrast as possible) and measured how far away I was when I could no longer detect the pixel. Awkward Season 1 Episode 12 Online on this page. I did this in an average lit setting and in a pitch black room. I had to move away extremely slowly to stay focused on it, but in all cases, with the exception of the black and white, I was 9- 3. I exclude the black screen with white pixel numbers simply cause our eyes detect the detail differently with black and white than when color is involved. Also, I was able to detect the single white pixel from significantly farther away than the color on color variants, and was unable to precisely measure that distance with my tools.

I partially attribute my findings to the fact that TV's emit light and our eyes can detect small details better from bright screens than in other, everyday, less bright situations. I also believe that our eyes are generally slightly better than what previous studies have found, and that previous studies didn't test enough variations of settings/material. Regardless, the bottom line is that in all the scenarios I tested, I was able to see a single pixel from farther away than I was supposed to be able to according to the standards described on this page.
