While the last Question of the Month focused on the future of TVs, this month we have decided to answer another very important question that you may want to know the answer of: ‘What is the best viewing distance for 3D TV?’ The answer to this question can certainly help you to better enjoy your 3D television and have an improved viewing experience.
So, what is the best viewing distance for an even more immersive 3D TV experience?
The Best Viewing Distance for Your 3D TV
The size of your 3D TV screen will play a huge part in finding the optimal seating position. 3D varies from 2D, so you shouldn’t guide yourself through the same measures, as a great 2D experience typically only requires you to consider the screen size and resolution.
When it comes to 3D, things to get a little bit more complicated, as the elements that make up a great 3D viewing experience generally include considerations like the size of your TV screen, its resolution, whether it’s LCD, plasma or LED, and your viewing angle.
The best viewing distance for 3D TV might not be so straightforward, but it’s not impossible!
How to Find the Sweet Spot
Finding the perfect position to fully enjoy your 3D TV will require you figure out your 3D comfort zone, which cannot be calculated just by screen size and resolution alone. After all, the illusion of a third dimension causes the nearest point of the 3D picture to appear closer to the viewer as the screen itself, and the farther point to appear farther away.
However, the image is flat, not actually 3D, so the 3D comfort zone refers to the perfect point between thinking the images are way too close or too far away to see properly.
The only way to correctly gauge your comfort zone is by experimenting with different positions until you find the one that feels right to you. Bigger screens are ideal for 3D, so that’s already a good starting point – move around a little until you find the sweet spot and you’ll soon be enjoying your 3D TV like never before.
It’s important to stay within this comfort zone while watching 3D, as anything outside of it might cause you some discomfort in the long run or the images might appear more blurred than they should.
