I've got to have a bigger screen than 40"!

Remember, 40" widescreen is the equivalent of about 32" standard 4:3 TV in regards to distance to screen viewing comfort and image size.

In other words, a 1.33:1 'fullscreen' film on a 40" widescreen, if using sidebars without a stretch option, will be approx 32" diagonally.

To quickly figure a widescreen to standard equivalency, just multiply the widescreen diagonal measure by 0.8174, or to go standard to widescreen equivalency, multiply the standard diagonal measure by 1.223
