Enter your screen diagonal size and resolution. The tool returns THX optimal (36° horizontal FoV), SMPTE cinema (30°), and the 4K-resolving distance (where you can start to distinguish 4K pixels from 1080p).
THX optimal (36° FoV)
-
SMPTE cinema (30° FoV)
-
4K UHD max distance
-
Viewing angle at THX distance
-
Tip: THX targets a 36° horizontal FoV (immersive). SMPTE targets 30° (comfortable cinema). If you sit further than the 4K UHD max, you get no visible benefit from a 4K panel vs 1080p at the same size.
