"Taran intergalactic standard of overwhelming immersion" got me good

[aletir]

People at the theater: "I can't wait to see the movie!"
Taran: * punching the air *

[qazzie]

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.

"eyeball not to scale"

YA DONT SAY

[metaleuman]

Neighbor: "Why are you sitting in my house?"
Me: "Just watching my sweet new 86" TV"

[gadroful]

Taran's GF: so where are we going to sit in theater?
Taran: "massaging his fist"

[Leonsimages]

LTT: "Are you sitting to close?"
My mom: *YES.*

[RooonilWazlib]

Taran: Well normally I bring my protractor but the fist measurement is a good estimate in a pinch.

6:13 Tarans intergalactic standard of overwhelming immersion

[KillahMate]

Fun fact: that 5 feet line for the screen door effect is also where you would start noticing a relevant difference between 8K and 4K video. At any of the actual distances they were talking about 8K is indistinguishable from 4K... except when you look inside your wallet.

"i always do this when im at a theater" i expect nothing less from taran

Taran Intergalactic standard of overwhelming immersion😂

[owenpatterson]

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

[vhol]

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

[FireFist]

"Taran's intergalactic standard of overwhelming immersion" lmao almost missed that

[schubidubap]

Me: "I have a 65" screen."
Them: "That's not too extreme..."
Me: "On my desk."

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

[Ethan-qpyz]

thank you taran for that helpful bit of knowledge of the "fist test"
