Re: HDTV Questions and Answers Thread
On my 50" SXRD I sit anywhere from 8-12 feet away (our couch is at 12'). I've found that the picture doesn't really degrade until I'm around the 6' line, and ideally when I relocate I would prefer a 10' viewing distance.Originally posted by rollinphati'd like to know too
THX has a funky viewing distance calculator that can be Googled for, but it's really personal preference. The calculator will tell you the max distance where you can visually resolve all the resolution, but from what I've found most people don't sit that close.I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be. - Douglas Adams

Re: HDTV Questions and Answers Thread
Mine's 46" and I view it from 7-7.5 feet away.Originally posted by ODoggjust out of curiousity how far back are you watching the set from jistic (and others) on these huge tv's?
Here's a standard chart:
30" 3.75-6.25 feet
34" 4.25-7 feet
42" 5.25-8.75 feet
50" 6.25-10.5 feet
56" 7-11.75 feet
62" 7.75-13 feet
70" 8.75-14.75 feet
Signal quality and other factors should also be tied into this chart.Comment

Re: HDTV Questions and Answers Thread
I have a 65" and sit around 11 feet away from my screen. I could possibly go forward a couple feet if I had to, but any closer than that would be too close.

Re: HDTV Questions and Answers Thread
I would be sitting about 10.5-11 feet away 90 to 95% of the time for TV/movies but when I game on my bad@ss 360 or PS2 I usually sit in my lazy boy and that is only about 5 to 7 feet. I hope the 50" screen isn't too big to view from that range. I don't think the SXRD comes any smaller. I guess I could always lean back in the chair and/or move it back a couple feet if necessary.Originally posted by aukevinI have a 65" and sit around 11 feet away from my screen.

Going by joeboos chart (thanks btw) I think i could get away with viewing the 50" at 5 or 6 feet though.Streaming PC & PS5 games, join me most nights after 6:00pm ET on TwitchTV https://www.twitch.tv/shaunh20

Re: HDTV Questions and Answers Thread
Of those of you with LCD's, which ones would you recommend? I'm wanting to get something in the 26"-32" area with PC input. Used mainly for 360, but with a HD DVR as well. I've been leaning towards Sammy since they are the ones recommended to use with the 360, but I know Sharp Aquos' are supposed to be really nice as well.PS4: aBayBates

Re: HDTV Questions and Answers Thread
Yeah, i try to avoid credit when possible because i tend to put off what i can, and i pay later down the road. I'd just prefer to hand em $3500 in cash and then highstep outta there like Deion returning an INT 64 yards for the TD!!Originally posted by koolbubbaiceI bought my HDTV in cash 2,200..

But dude, if you have the money, get the financing. Pay it off in a few months and it will help your credit report.Originally posted by ODoggYeah, i try to avoid credit when possible because i tend to put off what i can, and i pay later down the road.

Credit, when used responsibly is a GOOD THING.

Re: HDTV Questions and Answers Thread
That's a very good point, maybe i'll try that when I get a bit closer to the saved amount. Until then i'll keep visiting CC and Best Buy and harrassing the heck outta the sales people with inane questions.Originally posted by JisticBut dude, if you have the money, get the financing.

I agree with that statement, but I have seen a lot of people go the other way and are now in debt for thousands or more!Originally posted by JisticBut dude, if you have the money, get the financing. Pay it off in a few months and it will help your credit report.

No difference. Monster is just used to fluff up employees' commision and add-on sales. Don't bother.Originally posted by ScottdI agree with that statement, but I have seen a lot of people go the other way and are now in debt for thousands or more!
