Description
Instant calculations for TV size, viewing distance and viewing angle!
TV Widget is a fun and informative app for learning about the relationship between screen size, viewing distance and viewing angle. You can use it to help inform your decision about what size TV to buy, or how to arrange the seating in your room.
You can use TV Widget to do three things:
1. Calculate screen size. If you know how far you'll site from the screen, TV Widget can suggest a suitable TV size.
2. Calculate viewing distance. If you know the TV size, TV Widget can suggest the distance of your seating.
3. Assess the viewing experience. TV Widget calculates the viewing angle and provides fun gauges that help you assess how big the picture will feel compared to a cinema/theatre.
It can help you work out if that new Ultra HD TV is really worthwhile given your seating arrangement and TV size constraints!
TV Widget is designed to be fun and easy to use. It’s not a replacement for expert advice as it cannot take into account all your preferences and requirements, and it includes guidelines that are quite subjective in nature. However, it can be helpful in narrowing down your choices and understanding the trade-offs.
The app is in active development. Please contact us with any issues, feedback or suggestions – our email address is tvwidgetapp@gmail.com.

Ratings and Reviews
Great little app
Simple to use and gives a good feel for what to expect and perhaps whatTV to choose. Apparently I need a bigger TV. Now if you could just add a button which produces persuasive arguments for my in home finance officer this would be perfect.
Useful little app
It's doesn't do all that much but what it does do it does really well. If you obsess over things like what is the optimum TV size for you living room then this is for you.
I'll definitely consult this app before buying my next TV.
