The Science Behind the Distance

Our calculator isn't just a guess—it relies on the rigorous standards set by THX (Tomlinson Holman's eXperiment) and SMPTE (Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers).

These organizations analyze the human visual field to determine how much of your view the screen should occupy (Field of View). By adhering to these angles—40° for cinema and 30° for mixed usage—we ensure you see every detail the director intended, without pixelation or eye strain.
