"Taran intergalactic standard of overwhelming immersion" got me good
-
2:22 "eyeball not to scale" YA DONT SAY
-
Other LMG Employees: *this feels about right* Taran: NUMBERS!
-
4:09 My apologies to Sarah Butt for what I'm sure was a miserable middle school experience.
-
People at the theater: "I can't wait to see the movie!" Taran: * punching the air *
-
Neighbor: "Why are you sitting in my house?" Me: "Just watching my sweet new 86" TV"
-
Taran's GF: so where are we going to sit in theater? Taran: "massaging his fist"
-
LTT: "Are you sitting to close?" My mom: YES.
-
Taran: Well normally I bring my protractor but the fist measurement is a good estimate in a pinch.
-
Every video by LTT is a bit unique and this is what I come here everyday for. Taking the very practical question of how close is too close to the display is something at least I haven't seen before. Nice one!

6:13 Tarans intergalactic standard of overwhelming immersion
-
"i always do this when im at a theater" i expect nothing less from taran
-
"Taran's intergalactic standard of overwhelming immersion" lmao almost missed that
-
I've installed some TVs of this size when I worked at an AV company and usually it was just put about 10-15 feet away depending on the size of the room. Usually we put TVs this size in either living rooms or master bedrooms.

David sitting inches from the screen: “This is perfect” My favorite movie critic understands

If you can't see spots after turning off the TV, you're not close enough!

6:31 Taran Intergalactic standard of overwhelming immersion😂

The results were very good and indicative of what most people would find comfortable. 30deg is great for tv shows, mixed content, and general living room viewing 40deg is great for movies, especially if its a wide screen presentation And personally, i can easily do 50deg (taran level) for gaming. I would consider 40 deg the absolute minimum for solo/non-couch gaming

THANK YOU for putting the distances in metric system as well!!!!
