Distance/Screen SIze Formula?

It is pretty obvious I cant argue with your big brain so you win, I do feel that my "conclusion" is probably more correct then you might assume PHD or not.

Donbellphd, is right on. I suspect that long time exposure to previous technological limitations has perverted our perceptions on correct screen size for the home.

I must be the etc. part of Don's reply being that I found Chadnliz' answer humorous. But...I really don't have much sympathy for the original poster being that 2 months ago they posted an extremely vague question and then after being prompted for further details, they never once responded to their own thread.

Sure...the poster may not be a housewife...but if she's asking about screensize TWO months after the last thread she started and then ignored then she should just be asking the guy at Magnolia who gets paid to have his time wasted by people like Lel.

Ellery911, good catch. Thanks for keeping us up to date. It does get frustrating when individuals ask for help and don't even bother to follow up.

As a generall rule for standard screen(4x3aspect ratio) take the viewing distance divide by 3.5 then multiply by 12.For HD take the viewing distance divide by 1.5 then multiply by 12.These are only guidelines and you could always go slightly larger.
