Re: 16:9 Screen Vs. 2.37:1 CIH Screen


Acually you should work your seating distance from image height, not the width, where you should be no closer than 2x the image height and no farther back then 4x.

The beauty of CIH with a lens is that those pixels stay the same size (vertically) as you change ARs, so you do not loose sharpness*.

*pending the type of lens.

When you zoom, your pixels do increase vertically, so it is almost like going back from 1080 to 720, but not quiet, it is actually about 810...
