Edit: 3x for SD, 2X for HD, minimums. 5X maximum. Based on 20/20 vision. Maybe I'm too far away! Sounds about right! I have an 82" screen at about 13ft viewing distance. As for "how big" Basically I've found the sweet spot to be "what size fills the field of view without having to move the eye back and forth?" Anything smaller and I notice that it "could be bigger" any bigger and I have to move my eyes a lot. - D "Big John is my Idol...or is it that other way around? Let's ask Ray!"
