What Experience With Viewing Angle? What is your experience on viewing angle?

I was severely tempted by the price on this set. I went to both BB and CC today and looked at them. This set has about a 30 degree off center angle that is acceptable. The newer (1080p) sets extend this to about 45 degrees off axis for an acceptable viewing angle. This gives you a total of 90 degrees. Forget the 160 nonsence!

I think by saying two viewing angles they mean two viewing landscape angles. You can't do portrait viewing unless you use the strap and hold it. Hope this info helps.

Its great! I have a L shape sofa and my concern was the view other than the center. I've sat at an angle and had no complaints. Doesn't get blurry

I dim the light on my screen. This makes viewing from side angles difficult.You might try that, I haven't had any problems.

I have the 40 inch version and the picture looks great when viewing from an angle. No loss of color or richness. (I did have to adjust the preset colors definitions to my liking, but that was regardless of the viewing angle.).

The viewing angle is great. I did a 180 degree walk around and you can see everything as soon as you steps a view inches in front of it. It's an LED tv so your going to have great viewing angles with minimum glare, unlike plasma tvs.

I've had this model for quite some time. There is a little degradation from an angle but it's not bad at all. I can't imagine that anyone would position a chair at a viewing angle that would make it unacceptable - it'd have to be practically beside the TV.

Yes, I have my two side monitors angled at about a 20 degree angle, but you can make it deeper if you'd like.

No, you can watch from a distance or the side and it shows no distortion of color or picture. Not sure of the actual viewing angle.

For bird watching and astronomy, more people prefer angled for viewing comfort. Hunters usually prefer the straight angle. I test both and see what angle is the most comfortable for you. I hope this helps.

I would guess more like 140 - 150 degree viewing angle. Really have never measured it as it hasn't been an issue. --- Camera has worked and performed as advertised and we are pleased with it. Concerns over the dinky wires turned out apparently not to be justified. It really has been trouble free.

Hey Donald, I just replied to you on another one of these discussions and will do likewise on this one. Regarding the viewing angle, do any other 8 series owners think it... well... sucks? If I move so much as 5 degrees one way or another, the colors (particularly the blacks) start to fade. Wondering if this is one of the concessions for the 8 series' slim profile.

It took me a couple times to figure out how to look into it without being distorted. Now I have the hang of it and love it!! Hope this helps.

There are two 1.5mm (metric) allen set screws which you can loosen to adjust the camera angle.Note that the claimed 170 degree viewing angle is vastly exaggerated. I estimate it to be about half that, in the horizontal direction. Vertical is less, of course, because of aspect ratio.

The specs say: Viewing Angle (Diagonal) - 46 degrees. Which is a weird way to describe it. I'd say about 90 degrees horizontal. They're not a wide angle as they profess.

Any angle is fine. Shame, though, you won't be viewing it straight ahead, eye level...

Like any LCD screen, there is diminishing brightness as your viewing angle increases. However, the manufacturer claims 170-degree horizontal and vertical viewing angles. That's sufficiently wide for the type of application you describe, in my opinion. I use the monitor as a second screen for my laptop, and find it to be very good quality for the price.
