Forums - Gaming - Truth about resolutions... post your results.

First go here. Fill in the numbers in the required feilds and get your results for your screen size in relation to viewing distance and resolution.

Here are my results

  • 20/20 vision
  • 100" screen size
  • 1920x1080p rez
  • 156" Distance (I sit around 120" from my screen)

Basically, this test shows that if for all my other values, anything less than 156 inches from my screen and I will be able to make out individual pixels is I look hard enough. And this is true, if i really focus on some "not too busy" screens I can make out the pixel blocks on the screen.

I found this interesting as a lot of people seem to talk about resolution and stuff a lot, so lets see how many people are actually sitting at a distance that it would be possible to resolve the individual pixels of your display.

Ok folks.... post your results!!!!

- 2 meter distance



For distance i think you guys should put up what the calculator says is the minimum recommended distance considering your other values and then in bracket put what your current sitting distance is right now. That way we can see how many of us are actually in a position to notice rez differences or clarity.

And why yes! It is a computer monitor! How did you know?

I don't know what my vision is, but it's not 20/20...
I think my monitor is 21" and 720p
and I am a little over an arm's length away from my monitor... so I guess that doesn't help much.

Yes, you couldn't have been more unhelpful if you tried :)

Thanks for posting though...
