BBC new standard screen size?
I seem to remember that the regular BBC SD output of old was optimized for viewing on 22-24" CRT screens? Does anyone know what the BBC now consider as the optimum screen size for their HD transmissions now or in the future?

I don't think there is such a standard as 1080p/24 productions are geared just as much for a digital cinema as a domestic HD televisions where the ratio between screen size and viewing distance is more important.

For best results from HD, get a Full Hd 1080 set, as big a screen as you can, and view as close as you can - but SD will be unwatchable like this!. |

Plus (and it's entirely my subjective opinion) when you sit close enough to a full HD set to get the benefit it fills to much of your field of vision - it's like sitting at the front of the cinema.

If you like sitting at the front of the cinema, like most people that I know I prefer to be towards the back.

I wasn't criticising those who do like the picture that big (which is why I emphasised it was my subjective opinion) but just pointing it's no necessarily better for everyone (or even a majority).
