If you have ever tried to watch an LCD television, or if you have tried to look at an LCD computer monitor, you may notice that the picture does not have the same quality from every viewing angle. An LCD television is not quite the same as a picture tube television and there are some rules you need to follow in order to get the maximum viewing enjoyment from your LCD television.

One of the terms you should become familiar with when it comes to determining the distance you should sit from your LCD television is aspect ratio. Aspect ratio is basically the size of the image on the screen and how the television creates the image. The standard picture tube televisions use an aspect ration of 4:3 and for years this was more than sufficient for everyone. The higher your aspect ratio the better quality your picture. HD televisions like LCD televisions use a higher aspect ratio to get a better picture. Typically the aspect ratio for an LCD television is 16:9. This means that the picture is clearer even when you are sitting closer to the screen. This becomes important to understand later in this discussion.

First and foremost on getting the best viewing experience out of your LCD television is where your eyes should be in relation to the screen. With a picture tube you can look at the screen from almost any angle and still see the picture. But with an LCD television you need to have your eyes even with the middle of the screen in order to view the picture on the screen properly. Go ahead and try looking at your LCD television from different angles and you will see the difference. The ideal location for your eyes is right in the middle of the screen.

What about the distance you should be seated from the screen in order to see the picture clearly? This is where the understanding of aspect ration becomes important. Because LCD televisions have a higher aspect ratio their picture is much clearer even when you are sitting close to the screen. Many people use the rule of two arm's lengths to determine how far they should sit from their LCD television. What that means is you place yourself two arm's lengths from the center of the screen. Of course if you have a larger screen then you may want to move yourself back a bit further just to make sure you are able to see the entire screen. But the wonderful thing about LCD televisions is that you can sit as close as you want and you will still be able to see the picture clearly. That is the advantage of LCD televisions using high definition.
