What viewing distances (in relation to screen size) are people finding optimal? Is the LT150's image best viewed a farther back than normal (whatever that is) or can you get a little closer without any problems?
Philip Wise ( www.wiseacres.com ) determined the best commercial movie theater viewing angle (30 degree horizontal angle) and was able to come up with a formula that can be used to replicate that angle in a home theater. Using his formula, the following are some optimal viewing distances:
- 58" wide screen - approx. 107" viewing distance
- 67" wide screen - approx. 125" viewing distance
- 72" wide screen - approx. 134" viewing distance
- 80" wide screen - approx. 149" viewing distance
- 96" wide screen - approx. 179" viewing distance
-120 " wide screen - approx. 224" viewing distance
How do these compare to your set up?
