The Fix - How to select the optimal screen size

2014-03-11
hey guys Eric Franklin here now I'm buying a new TV one of the most important things you're probably thinking about is screen size so how do you figure out what's the best screen size for you well thx recommends a 40 degree viewing angle in order to get the most immersive experience when watching movies and TV shows in high definition now there's a very simple formula to figure this out I'm gonna show you exactly how to do it so first I'm going to measure the distance in inches from where I want to place my new TV to where I'll actually be sitting I'll take that number multiply it by 0.8 4 in order to get the screen size for the optimal viewing experience so in this case I'm going to measure from the TV I'm going to put it back to where I'll actually be sitting which equals roughly 77 inches now that will give me the optimal viewing angle for the most cinematic experience if you take that 77 inches and then multiply it by 0.8 4 you get roughly 65 inches which is the exact size of this screen now that may be too big for you but CNET recommends going with at least a 50-inch TV for a living room area but also pushing it to about 60 or even more it's going to be even better the overall takeaway here is that as long as you're not sitting really close to your TV it's always better to go big you
