Where To Watch Hdtv Online?

What is the recommend distance(in ft) to watch a 24 and 22 inch monitor/hdtv?

• I mainly play games like fps, rpg ,fighting games, surf the web, watch movie etc.. i'm thinking to buy a new 22 or 24inch HDTV because i'm tired of my 32inch HDTV(It hogs to much space and i'm going to give it my dad :D ) and i need more space in my room in case my friends want to hang out to play motion video games(like just dance 3, everybody dance etc..) So what is the recommend distance(in ft) to watch a 24 and 22 inch monitor/hdtv? Thanks in advance.

• Answer:

  The closer you sit, the more immerse experience you have. However, if you sit too close, you will start to see the pixels of the screen. What you are looking for is the closest distance where you can't distinguish the pixels or the resolution of the screen. Normal people can distinguish something that is 1/60 of a degree apart which correspond to approximately 60 pixels per degree, or about 32 degrees for a 1920x1080 resolution. This correspond to approximately a distance of 1.6 times the diagonal of your television (for a 16:9 screen format), or about 3.2' for your 24" HDTV (if it is 1080p). Keep in mind that this the the minimal distance based on the resolution of the screen. You can watch it from further apart, but after that the further you move away from the television, the less details you will see because of your eye.
