Editing Display size (section)

== Optimal screen size and viewing distance ==
The resolution of the [[human eye]] (with [[20/20 vision]]) is about one [[minute of arc]]. For full [[HDTV]] resolution, this one minute of arc implies that the TV watcher should sit '''3.2 times the height of the screen away''' ([[Optimum HDTV viewing distance#Optimal viewing distance|optimal viewing distance]])'''.''' At this distance, the individual pixels cannot be resolved while simultaneously maximizing the viewing area. For more TV [[Display resolution|resolutions]], see "[[Optimum HDTV viewing distance#Optimal viewing distance|The optimal viewing distance]]".<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/by-size/size-to-distance-relationship

The TV image is composed of many lines of [[Pixel|pixels]]. Ideally, the TV watcher sits far enough away from the screen that the individual lines merge into one solid image. The watcher may sit even farther away and still see a good picture, but it will occupy a smaller portion of their [[visual field]].
