To determine the optimal display there are various factors taken into consideration such as the viewing distance, resolution, and human visual acuity. There’s a specific formula that is used to calculate optimal display. You can use a diagonal screen size calculator to calculate the diagonal.
As per Avixa standard – Display Image Size for 2D Content (DISCAS), the Diagonal Size (D) of the display is calculated using:
D = sqrt(W^2 + H^2)
W = AR * Image Height
H = L/Discas Constant * Image Height
In this formula
D: Diagonal Size of Display
W: Width of Display
H: Height of Display
AR: Aspect Ratio
L: Distance of last viewing person
