If you have a 73 inch TV you should sit at least 7.5 feet away. With a 65/62incher you'd want to be about 6.5 feet away. If your TV is 57" then 5 and a half feet would be the minimum. With a 50 and 52" HDTV the min. distance is 5'. 47 and 46 inch TVs have a minimum viewing distance of 4.5 feet. A 42" TV (a common size for LCD TVs and Plasmas) requires you to sit at least 4 feet away. 37" TV? About 3.5 feet. With a 32" TV it'd be around 3.25 feet.
