Viewing Distances
Before deciding on a particular display technology size, it’s very important to calculate at what distances it’s going to be viewed from. As the display size increases so does the ideal viewing distance. As a rule of thumb, the viewing distance should be roughly two to three times the screen size for standard definition (SD) displays.
Screen size (in) | Viewing distance (ft) | Viewing distance (m) |
---|---|---|
15–26 | 5–8 | 1.5-2.4 |
26–32 | 8–11.5 | 2.4-3.5 |
32–42 | 11.5–13 | 3.5-4 |
42–55 | >13 | >4 |

Famous quotes containing the words viewing and/or distances:
“The happiest youth, viewing his progress through,
What perils past, what crosses to ensue,
Would shut the book, and sit him down and die.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“We then entered another swamp, at a necessarily slow pace, where the walking was worse than ever, not only on account of the water, but the fallen timber, which often obliterated the indistinct trail entirely. The fallen trees were so numerous, that for long distances the route was through a succession of small yards, where we climbed over fences as high as our heads, down into water often up to our knees, and then over another fence into a second yard, and so on.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
