Designing observation space according to the TV screen dimension
I'd like to know the optimal geometric-optic parameters or considerations regarding observation space (e.g., living room) vs screen size & dimensions. It'll be nice to have some references with respect to the relevant ergonomic aspects. P.s., the question doesn't result from the fact that FIFA world cup is forthcoming. בנצי (talk) 16:14, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
 * There is no "optimum" because it is based on opinion. I personally prefer a tv to be above eye level. Other people prefer it to be directly at eye level or slightly below. I personally want to see the sides of the television without turning my head. Other people want to be "immersed" in the picture. 209.149.113.5 (talk) 19:37, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
 * You're turning your eyes though cause the fovea and foveola are tiny. Sagittarian Milky Way (talk) 21:13, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
