Inputs
Room Dimensions (Width, Length, Height): To determine space constraints.
Viewing Distance: Distance from the screen to your primary seating position.
Screen Size Preference: Desired diagonal screen size.
Screen Aspect Ratio: Commonly 16:9 for most content.
Calculations
Optimal Screen Size (based on Viewing Distance):
THX recommends a viewing angle of 40 degrees for the best cinematic experience. The formula is: Screen Size (inches) = Viewing Distance (inches) / 1.6.
SMPTE (Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers) recommends a 30-degree viewing angle. The formula is: Screen Size (inches) = Viewing Distance (inches) / 2.0.
Recommended Viewing Distance (based on Screen Size):
For 1080p TVs: Viewing Distance (inches) = Screen Size (inches) * 1.5 to 2.5.
For 4K TVs: Viewing Distance (inches) = Screen Size (inches) * 1 to 1.5.
Output
Suggested screen size for your viewing distance (or vice versa).
Recommended speaker placement based on room dimensions (if you want to include audio considerations).
