This allows for a slightly larger TV than the SMPTE recommendation, with a maximum screen size of 72 inches (again, 70-inch models are the closest) for a 9-foot viewing distance. While these are good guidelines, I think they need to be taken as the recommendations they are, not any sort of steadfast rules.
A hat trick in hockey is when a player scores three goals in a game. The term hat trick is often used in sports to refer to a player achieving three of something during a single competition, such as three goals in one soccer game, three hits in a baseball game or three touchdowns in an American football game.
this is so wrong. hat trick came from hockey, the most awesome sport in the world. it was because when a player scored three goals in one game, everyone would throw their hats onto the ice, and it still happens today. hat tricks are awesome! sad that other stupid sports stole the saying and don't throw hats out when it happens.
