Viewing angle:
A viewer tends to position himself or herself relative to a scene so that the smallest detail of interest in the scene subtends an angle of about one minute of arc (1⁄60°), approximately the limit of angular discrimination for normal vision.
For the 483 picture lines of conventional television, the corresponding viewing distance is about seven times picture height (PH); the horizontal viewing angle is about 11°.
For the 1080 picture lines of HDTV, the optimum viewing distance is 3.3 screen heights, and the horizontal viewing angle is almost tripled to 28°.
Viewing distance:
$$distance \approx \frac{3400}{lines} \times pH$$
