At one time in my life when I was buying new TV salesman was telling me that size of your new television always dictated by viewing distance.

So, I need to make a decision between 7 inch screen and 10 inch screen.

- Is 10 inch screen normally used in large airplanes where distance from your eyes to the screen is large?

- My 6 inch extension made out of plywood is giving me distance from my eyes to the screen of 24 inches. Is this situation perfect for 7 inch screen? Is 10 inch display would be too large? At this stage I can change anything.

- And why are we trying so hard to squeeze big TV in your cockpit if 1/2 of your display will be occupied by engine monitoring? Would it be smarter to arrange two 7 inch displays? This way second EFIS will be dedicated for engine monitoring and I will have redundancy in case of failure? Bigger is not always better in this case? But it is always better in some other specific cases?

This is all new questions to me, but I am sure someone out there already answered them along time ago.
