I was putting up some wall decorations earlier today and was painstakingly realigning everything until it looked level to my eyes. It might be just a hair off, but if I don’t correct it, I’ll see the misalignment almost instantly and get bothered for the rest of time until I fix it. Has anyone investigated, or is there literature on the minimum perceptible angle from level to the naked eye?

    I once hung a TV level to Earth’s gravity. And then I found out that the floor and ceiling weren’t level, so the TV looked crooked anyways.
