I learned this from at a photography seminar. The guy learned it from an astonomer.
If you tuck your thumb in at arm's length, fingers vertical, you can approximate the Screen's Subtended Angle and match it at home with a different distance/perspective to the TV.
That's now I set up my HT and why I sit closer than everyone else, matching the same image IMMERSION I get at a local Reg. or IMAX theater!
I use the same method there to find the best seat in the real Theater too!
They always match within "reasonable" tolerance.
