50" plasma question.
If i was to buy a 50" plasma tv,how far away would i have to sit to watch the screen comfortably?
Is there a general rule of thumb about screen size and viewing distance?
Ie..37"=??Ft

Just been on c net and it reckons that minimum viewing distance for a 50" plasma is 1.8 m.
is that right?Surely you would end up like Marty Feldman after not too long!!
MAX distance...3.8m...????

With regards to viewing, you're probably better off trying to find a local independant specialist to be honest. The plasma setups you'll see in the likes of Comet/Currys etc really won't give you an idea of what a screen is capable of.
There's the odd good place about depending on your location, might be worth asking over at www.avforums.com
