1080p charted: viewing distance to screen size

EngadgetHD: 1080p has arguably been the buzzword of the year; at least in the HDTV world that is.

Advertisers makes it seem that everyone simply needs to have a 1080p display but we have finally found a chart to support our stance on the higher resolution.

Some people can take advantage of the extra lines of resolution but sometimes, it’s an unnecessary cost.

Simply locate your viewing distance on the right hand side and screen size on the bottom, connect the two lines and bam, your optimal screen resolution.

Everyone’s HDTV viewing situation is different and while 1080p might be slammed into your face while shopping for a new HDTV, it might not be necessary for you.
