Re: HD Compression Here To Stay?
[ Edited ]

Most people want the biggest TV without thinking about what it's going to look like.  The bigger the TV the farther away you need to be for it to look "good".  In my home office I have a 32 inch 720p which is about 4 feet from me and it looks great on HD.  Now if I put my 52 inch TV in place of it, it would look like crap because it's too big for the room.

 

Here is a recommended TV size to viewing distance chart:

 

Screen SizeRecommended Range
26" 3.3' – 6.5' (1.0 m – 2.0 m)
30" 3.8' – 7.6' (1.2 m – 2.3 m)
34" 4.3' – 8.5' (1.3 m – 2.6 m)
42" 5.3' – 10.5' (1.6 m – 3.2 m)
46" 5.8' – 11.5' (1.8 m – 3.5 m)
50" 6.3' – 12.5' (1.9 m – 3.8 m)
55" 6.8' – 12.8' (2.1 m – 3.9 m)
60" 7.5' – 15.0' (2.3 m – 4.6 m)
65" 8.1' – 16.3' (2.5 m – 5.0 m)
