I'm thinking of buying a sony 50 inch LCD rear projection tv very soon. I wanted to know what the best distance for viewing would be.
Thanks for any info. |

Mike if you have control over ambient lighting in your room and can run some wires, look into a regular DLP projector and a good screen. You pay a lot less and get a lot more and better viewing screen.

1.5-2 screen widths is a nice rule of thumb. |

The old rule of thumb that i was familiar with is 3 times the diagonal of the screen. Of course that was for CRT tube TV's. For a screen that big LCD, I would guess about 10 feet. |
