VIEWING DISTANCE AND FIELD OF VIEW (FOV) CALCULATOR
Please edit the values below so they match your environment.



SCREEN DIMENSIONS
Since the aspect ratio and diagonal of your screen are known, we can calculate the size of the picture:
inch ft cm
Diagonal 65 5.42 165
Height (H) 65 5.42 165
Width (W) 65 5.42 165

FIELD OF VIEW (FOV) AND IDEAL DISTANCE
The horizontal FOV is crucial for how immersive the movie experience is.

FOV based on the input above : 45° too close
Ideal distance (~45° FOV) : 2.0m too close
