Here's a neat little site for calculating the viewing distance between you and your screen.

Viewing Distance Calculator (http://www.myhometheater.homestead.com/viewingdistancecalculator.html)

It's interesting to see the different recommendations.

I have used this before and I don't care much for the recommendations. It might be useful if you are planning a front projection system, but otherwise recommends what I consider to be an absurdly oversized screen (a 90" 16:9 screen from 10' away).

Yup - seen it before but it's neat I think. I guess if you don't have a front projector you can still see at what distance you can resolve 1080i based on visual acuity per that screen size. That's a cool gee-whiz thing to know I guess. :)
