Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?

|
With standard-definition TVs, the rule was formerly that viewers would feel relaxed watching an arrangement in a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution can be so far better that you will sit closer to a greater TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule usually you'll sit between 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) of the top experience. Once you know how big the the room you may have already, in which you just want to sit, and where your own HDTV should go if you purchase it, you are able to learn about the dimensions HDTV will want.
- Minimum size = Viewing distance/3
- Maximum size=Viewing distance/1.5
