Home Theater & AV Setup Calculators

Compare TV and projector sizes, viewing distances, speaker positions and room-acoustic calculations before you buy or install equipment. Results include the relevant dimensions, angles, assumptions and scaled diagrams where they help.

UPS Runtime

Estimate runtime from total battery-pack capacity and measured rack load, while checking both UPS watt and VA ratings.

Open tool →

Seating Sightlines

Estimate the row heights needed for each sightline to clear an assumed head height in the row ahead.

Open tool →

Outdoor Cinema Screen

Compare near and far audience viewing angles with screen dimensions, size bounds and ideal dark-screen brightness.

Open tool →

Golf Sim Screen

Fit an aspect-correct impact-screen image inside clear room dimensions and calculate the projector lens throw range.

Open tool →

Anamorphic Screen

Plan constant-image-height scope geometry, same-height 16:9 size, side masks and anamorphic stretch.

Open tool →

TV vs Projector

Compare how image size, ambient light, daily use, budget and installation affect the choice without assigning an artificial winner.

Open tool →

Ultrawide Equivalent

Compare an ultrawide with 16:9 screens at the same physical height or width and with a bezel-free dual-screen split.

Open tool →

Monitor Distance

Combine a maximum horizontal field of view with minimum pixels per degree to find a practical desk distance.

Open tool →

PPD / PPI

Compare physical pixel density with angular pixels per degree for any resolution, diagonal and viewing distance.

Open tool →

Speaker Cable Gauge

Compare copper AWG loop resistance and signal loss, then select the thinnest gauge within a chosen limit.

Open tool →

Amplifier Power / SPL

Estimate listening-position SPL and reverse-calculate watts per speaker for a target plus headroom.

Open tool →

Panel Area

Compare panel face area and estimated absorption with room surface area using an explicitly entered reference target.

Open tool →

Reflection Points

Locate symmetric side-wall first reflection points with the mirror-source method and real room coordinates.

Open tool →

Atmos Layout

Calculate two- or four-speaker overhead coordinates from ceiling height, ear height and elevation angle.

Open tool →

Surround Speaker Angles

Plot symmetric 5.1 or 7.1 speaker positions from reference listening angles and an editable radius.

Open tool →

Subwoofer Placement

Plot practical boundary, centre and quarter-room subwoofer test positions around the listening seat.

Open tool →

Speaker Placement

Lay out a centred stereo triangle from room dimensions, speaker offset and listening position.

Open tool →

RT60 Calculator

Estimate Sabine reverberation time and the total absorption needed for an editable decay target.

Open tool →

Room Mode Calculator

Enumerate axial, tangential and oblique room resonances and inspect close low-frequency clusters.

Open tool →

Screen Gain

Calculate the screen gain or delivered lumens needed for a brightness target, then compare common gain values.

Open tool →

Projector Brightness

Estimate foot-lamberts from delivered lumens, screen size and gain, or reverse-calculate required output.

Open tool →

Projector Screen Size

Find the largest image that fits your lens distance, throw ratio and usable wall height.

Open tool →

Projector Throw Distance

Solve lens-to-screen distance, throw ratio or screen diagonal with a scaled optical diagram.

Open tool →

TV Size Comparison

Compare two TV sizes by physical dimensions, visible area and viewing angle from the same seat.

Open tool →

4K/8K Distance

Compare 1080p, 4K and 8K angular pixel density at your actual screen size and seat.

Open tool →

TV Mount Height

Calculate screen centre, top, bottom and VESA reference height from your actual seated sight line.

Open tool →

TV Dimensions

Convert advertised diagonal and aspect ratio into visible width, height, area and estimated bezel size.

Open tool →

Aspect Ratio

Simplify a width-to-height ratio and calculate matching dimensions without stretching.

Open tool →

TV Viewing Distance

Compare your current seat position with editable viewing-angle distances for any TV size.

Open tool →

TV Size Calculator

Find a TV diagonal from viewing distance and angle, then compare three screen sizes in a to-scale room view.
