HD Installers calculator for estimating the distance to install your Plasma or LCD Television.

HD Installers does everything we can to give you the best possible viewing experience when we install your Plasma TV or LCD TV. But one thing we run into often is that customer don't have a proper perspective of how close they can sit to a large screen television and still have a good viewing experience. Sitting the right distance from your LCD TV or plasma television is an important part of the getting the best viewing experience. Sitting too far away from your screen definitely diminishes the overall impact of your investment on your new flat screen television. Additionally, sitting too close to a large screen is also less than ideal because you will find that you're finding it hard to follow the action and could get that same feeling you get from sitting to close to the screen at your local movie theater. If you're not sure how far away you should install your television for optimum viewing, consult our suggested viewing distance chart.

Remember that the distance is the center of where your installing the screen and where your eyes will be when watching your new LCD or Plasma television.
