How TVDistance calculates screen size and seating
The calculator uses 16:9 geometry and two viewing-angle targets: approximately 40° for immersive viewing and 30° for relaxed mixed use.
| Immersive range | Larger field of view for movies and games |
| Mixed-use range | More relaxed field of view for varied TV content |
| Physical dimensions | Picture area only; bezels and stands excluded |
| Resolution guidance | Pixel-visibility estimate, not a comfort or safety rule |
Limits
Eyesight, subtitles, motion sensitivity, mount height, source quality and personal preference change the best result. Projector placement additionally depends on the exact manufacturer throw ratio.
