Fun fact: that 5 feet line for the screen door effect is also where you would start noticing a relevant difference between 8K and 4K video. At any of the actual distances they were talking about 8K is indistinguishable from 4K... except when you look inside your wallet.

@sim2er 2 года назад

the perception of that is why HDR and other technologies are advertised so much. However it also isn't 100% accurate, there's a pixelworks whitepaper which said people have *at least* 50% greater visual acuity for images in motion compared to static vision tests. Interestingly this means that greater perceived image quality can be achieved with either higher resolutions or higher refresh rates. To achieve lifelike presence in VR requires both, so I hope screen tech continues to improve despite the persistent naysayers.

@TheSchwarztrinker 3 года назад

If there's an intriguing video idea involving displays or just old common tech questions with an interesting twist (because the bleeding edge tech justifies another look at them), then James is almost guaranteed to be the writer. He also always makes great use of the big team LMG have at their disposal now. I feel like James is a little underrated. He's a great guy and as a writer he is the most balanced I think. He is informative and detail oriented where necessary, puts all of that in to an interesting "story" (what Linus call it) and keeps it entertaining as a charismatic host (Linus and him also have great chemistry). Linus, if you read this, give that man a raise!

I'm definitely with the second group. I snagged a 73" Mitsubishi WS73907 back in 2002 after my first home theater TV, a 32" Sony Trinitron XBR KV-32XBR, finally gave up the ghost. I was the first person among family and friends with a true "big screen" and I loved it fairly close (10-11 feet, limited by living room) while everyone else thought that was too close...at first. FFWD to today where pretty much everyone has a MINIMUM screen size of 50+ inches and I feel like even 65's and 70's look like postage stamps at typical "living room distance"...and a LOT of people are agreeing with me. Kinda weird to be old enough to remember when 25" TVs were considered "big". No wonder I used to sit so close as a kid.

@paulvail7926 3 года назад

So, AVS, and front projectors ask this question about once every couple of years. The most common size is about 10” to 12” of diagonal for each foot of viewing distance. These are all about the BIG screen experience, but with immersion and image quality being the whole point for many, these numbers hold solid. TV viewing is very different than home theater. It is much more social, so further viewing distances allow interaction with others. When you eliminate the room, as you try to do in a home theater, you find people enjoy much larger sizes. Also, much dimmer displays, like OLED and front projection. You should try this again in a large home theater space with a good (JVC) front projector. We sit about 16 feet from a 161 inch diagonal. Immersion!

My current viewing angles are 25deg in the den and 40deg in bedroom, and I definitely see content better in the bedroom. I plan to go with 35deg for new den TV. Thanks for the help!

LG sponsored this video: Not enough local dimming zones and peak brightness not as good as the Vizio. It's hard to call an 86" tv value....

I had my 45 inch TV on my desk for a short while once, so I guess I fall into the "Taran intergalactic standard of overwhelming immersion", and honestly I am ok with that. I always like to scoot the couch up close to the TV especially for games.

@j616s 3 года назад

Really interesting that only one person went close enough that you'd start to be able to discern the pixels on a 1080p screen... Even then, they were just barely closer than that point.

I use a 43" Sony 4k tv (XBR43X88E) as my primary display for both my work and gaming pc. My face is usually 1.5-2.5 ft away from the display at any given time. Been using the setup for a few years now (started with a 55" but it was too big) and its worked very well for me. Playing Modern Warfare @ 4k w/ R7 1800X and GTX 1080FE, I get anywhere from 50-65 fps (tv is only 60 hz) and is so immersive, due to the screen taking up my primary FOV.

@thinskin 3 года назад

I've watched almost every video from LTT, WAN, ChannelSuperFun, Techquickie, Techlinked and LinusCatTips for years. I remember the Roast, the Highest LAN Party, nerf battles, fire engines and that weird electric shock game. You guys have brought so much to us as viewers for so long. But this has really rammed home for me how little I know the current LMG team. I would love to see a video like you guys used to make when you did things like the "what it's really like to work here" video, introducing the team as it is now. I think it would really help keep the channel feeling human and personal. Just a thought guys. Keep doing great things! :)

@Sophistry0001 3 года назад

I wonder how different it would be for other people, older or non tech-savvy people who don't give a hoot about the specs or tech and just want to watch. Like of course if you're into the tech you're going to be looking for the different features and shortcomings but someone who doesn't can just take it in a different perspective. It would actually be cool to see not only seating distance preference but also a comparison between a handful of TVs from the uber budget to maximum awesome and see which ones the non-tech initiated prefer.

@mvez10 3 года назад

I'm definitely in Tarans group. I have my projector at 120" and sit 9ft away. I think it really does come down to what you're used to and the the level of immersion you are looking for. My wife and 3 kids are all fine with that distance too and 90% of what we watch on the projector is movies.

@Freez_Izzy 3 года назад

Same. My projector screen ~105 but angle the same. Great movie experience.

@SheaHarris 2 года назад

Same here 120" slightly under 9.'

@TheClassicWorld Год назад

Yeah, that's 51 degrees. I just read that 80 degrees is the max for the human eye, which I never knew -- given how 120-160 is a real talking point (I guess, that's just marketing, or people really love to turn their necks a lot). The general 'max' is seen as 70 degrees, but 60 degrees more generally. The 'sweet spot' for closeness is 45-50 degrees.

@TheClassicWorld Год назад

Fun fact: at 1080p/32", watching 1080p Blu-ray, my max is 63 degrees, which is 1.5 x 15.5 (screen height; just under 2'). This is where I can see the image without seeing pixels. Any close than this and I can see pixels a little. This is the hard limit. But, 50-63 degrees is too close for me. I like anywhere from 42 to 26 degrees (3-5'), depending on a few factors. Blu-ray also looks good at 3.5 feet away (36-degree viewing angle). 4' is really the limit in terms of quality and close viewing angle, though. Anywhere from 3.5-4.5' is perfect for most films and most people. At 5', the picture quality is slightly better in many cases, but the viewing angle is 26 degrees (the hard limit for the back of any cinema). 4.5' is about 30 degrees, which is very common, too.

@matthewmccann5780 3 года назад

It seems that with 4k resolution you are finally able to sit closely enough to your TV such that you meet the SMPTE and THX recommended distances, but are far enough away to not be able to discern individual pixels. If this is the case, are there any real benefits to pushing resolutions on new TVs beyond 4k?

@Afonso.Soares 2 года назад

One of reasons I can think of is going beyond said recommendations, specially for theaters. 4K is just enough for 2.39:1 movies, and there’s also the IMAX cinema, where their horizontal 70mm film has a theoretical resolution of 12K. One of the most overkill sensors that never materialized was the RED Epic 617, which would be capable of capturing a 28000x9334 image at 25 fps

@mrgold3591 Год назад

I have my couch, loveseat, and recliner at different distances from our 77C1 OLED from 8 -17 feet. It really depends on content and how much special effects are part of the viewing experience. Plus, I can still see the content and don't need to wear my glasses at 17 feet away (hard to see/wear my glasses when horizontal on couch).

65" LG OLED set here and I have different distances for what I'm doing. World of Warships, I'm about 3.5 feet from the screen with surround sound and it's AWESOME! Wish the game didn't tick me off so bad tho. First person shooters, about 6 to 7 feet away comfortably. Movies, 8.5 feet. Just depends on what's being viewed.

@jasondailey9402 3 года назад

Compared to their testing setup, I like being higher up relative to the screen, so my eyes are about 2/3 of the way up the display. It feels much easier to look down on the screen than up.

@Afonso.Soares 2 года назад

Should have come here sooner, but there are some misinformation about SMPTE: - their recommendation for viewing distance only considers image height, that being 3x with +-1x of acceptance; - the 30° value that everyone mistakenly talk about is regarding maximum seating offset from center, as in +-15° from the middle. Using that calculation, you can see that THX is actually following that rule if you consider a 2.39:1 movie. Furthermore, NTSC, PAL, HDTV (720p and 1080p) and UHDTV 1 and 2 (being 4K and 8K respectively) all follow the rule of minimum distance to not see individual pixels, and if you think NTSC was funny, you should see where UHDTV falls in (spoiler alert, it’s 1.6x for 4K, as seen in this video, 0.8x for 8K). Edit: Taran, surprisingly, is still within the SMPTE standard. For knowledge, 1.85:1 movies accepts maximum of 50 degrees, and 62 degrees for 2.39:1
