Ray says:<\/p>\n<p>Most  monitor and HDTV user menu options and selections are actually unnecessary  features added for marketing purposes. Most actually decrease image and picture  quality; in many cases it is not even clear what they really do.<\/p>\n<p>Ray  wrote <a href=\"http:\/\/www.maximumpc.com\/article\/features\/display_myths_shattered\" rel=\"nofollow\">Display  Myths Shattered: How Monitor &amp; HDTV Companies Cook Their Specs<\/a>, a  useful piece in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.maximumpc.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Maximum PC<\/a>, the only  tech magazine worth a print subscription.&nbsp; <strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Viewing Distance Revealed<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/hdtvprofessor.com\/HDTVAlmanac\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Alfred Poor<\/a>, a writer (for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pcmag.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">PC Magazine<\/a>, among other spots) I&#8217;ve known for  years, is also a display maven. Who knew? Alfred wasn&#8217;t all too happy with the  viewing distance calculator I mentioned. Here&#8217;s his take:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>Any viewing distance calculator that does not take  into account the resolution of the display cannot be accurate. And the  difference between a 720p image and 1080p image is enormous; one has about  twice as many pixels as the other.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>I&#8217;m  probably losing most of you (and me, too), but for the two dozen HDTV geeks in  the audience, here&#8217;s more of Alfred&#8217;s advice:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>1080p sets have about twice as many pixels as 720p  sets, so for a given size, you&#8217;ll need to sit closer to a 1080p set to see all  the detail. I developed a <a href=\"HDTV_Viewing_Distance.pdf\" rel=\"nofollow\">viewing distance  table and explanation<\/a> that takes into account resolution, human vision physiology,  and field of view factors. Measure the distance from your chair to the screen&#8217;s  location in inches, and multiply by the factor for your screen&#8217;s resolution.  The result will be the recommended diagonal screen size in inches.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Two spots that take everything into account when  deciding on viewing distance: Ken&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.winebase.com.au\/audio\/index1.htm\" rel=\"nofollow\">Does Size Matter<\/a>? and  Carlton Bale&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/carltonbale.com\/home-theater\/home-theater-calculator\" rel=\"nofollow\">Home Theater  Calculator<\/a>.&nbsp; And TechBite subscriber  H.
