Veiwing distance.....

I am in a 13X19 room, screen is on short wall, my speakers are 9 feet apart and I have a Sony XBR WEGA 30 inch wide set, my question is for ideal viewing ditance for movies, not casual viewing wich dictates couch is close to back wall, but should I pull my couch up for movies? thanks for your continued help....Chad

I have a 65in.rptv same dimension as your short wall.In front of this tv I have a 92in auto screen that comes down for those "un-casual" viewing moments. Pull the couch up--way up!!

For a 30in widescreen TV, you need to be between 2 to 3 metres away for optimum viewing. Too close, you could get a headache and too far.......is just not as as fun.

I would try different distances. I have a low tolerance for being too close. People differ in this respect. If you have to move your eyes back and forth a lot to see all the action at once, then you are too close. that is what gives you the headache.
