There are many
recommendations supplied on this subject by differing professional
organizations in the television and movie industries. They are based on
studies that reflect the visual acuity and comfort of the viewer with
respect to the display of motion pictures in differing formats. The
calculator below concerns itself with widescreen (16:9 ratio) displays
that exhibit either standard or high definition program material. It does not matter if the
television is LCD, plasma, projection, or
otherwise. The calculator has created two boundaries based on the
aforementioned recommendations. The maximum size is suggested for those
viewers interested in simulating a theater experience with high definition
material only. The minimum size is suggested for those viewers who
expect to continue viewing standard definition programming, but want the
ability to enjoy the detail of high definition material when it is presented.
This calculator only creates a "rule of thumb". The comfort zone for
any given viewer may likely exist somewhere
in between the calculated boundaries. |
