Fit is perfect, choose the right screen size

Foreword: If you have never built a home theater, it is easy to make one of two mistakes-either the screen is too small or the screen is too big. If your screen is too small, this is a fatal mistake. If your room can fit a bigger screen, you will find yourself wanting to make the screen bigger from time to time. However, choosing a screen that is too large will also give you a serious headache, which really means literally. Relative to the viewing distance, a screen that is too large will cause eye fatigue, physical and mental fatigue, and headaches after a long time of viewing, so that it is necessary to rest several times during the entire viewing process or stop watching the screen. Regarding home theater, the last thing you want to happen is that you are bored with home theater because you use an oversized screen. Choosing the right screen size If you have read the previous article about screen aspect ratio, you should know that the choice of aspect ratio is very important for building a home movie theater. However, you cannot make the final aspect ratio decision without determining the ideal screen size and the desired viewing distance.　　 If you have never built a home theater, it is easy to make one of two mistakes-either the screen is too small or the screen is too big. If your screen is too small, this is a fatal mistake. If your room can fit a bigger screen, you will find yourself wanting to make the screen bigger from time to time.　　 However, choosing a screen that is too large will also give you a serious headache. This is really a literal meaning. Relative to the viewing distance, a screen that is too large will cause eye fatigue, physical and mental fatigue, and headaches after a long time of viewing, so that it is necessary to take several breaks or stop watching the screen during the entire viewing process. Regarding home theater, the last thing you want to happen is that you are bored with home theater because you use an oversized screen.　　Next is the most important point of this article: 　　The ideal screen size and viewing distance depend on the screen aspect ratio you choose.　　 Let us focus on this argument first. Suppose you choose to use an 8-foot-wide 2.4 ultra-wide screen (Note: 8 feet u003d 2.44 meters, corresponding to 110 inches in 16:9). You will find that you can sit closer to the screen than a 16:9 screen of the same width without eye strain. Why? The 16:9 screen has a larger surface area and a larger vertical height-35% to be precise. So the eyes need to work harder to receive everything displayed on the larger screen.　　To compensate for this effect, many people instinctively want to sit a few feet away from the screen. For example, if you are comfortable watching an 8-foot-wide 2.4 screen sitting at 10 feet (note: 3.05 meters), then for an 8-foot-wide 16:9 screen, you are likely to sit away from the screen. At 12 feet (Note: 3.66 meters), a similar level of comfort (in terms of eye fatigue) can be obtained.　　 Therefore, the potential viewing distance you have is a key to the puzzle (what size screen to choose). This means that the ideal screen size depends not only on the width of the house price, but also on the depth of the room. In many rooms, it is easy to install a screen that fills the entire wall width or 90% of the wall width, but what is unexpected is that the depth of the room is insufficient for long-term viewing, so that seats cannot be arranged comfortably.
