I am more sensitive to having to move my eyes and head to view the whole scene at one time. I tend to get a headache when I am too close. I have a 51" diagonal wide screen and sit about 12 feet away which seems all right now. But like I said, I am more esnsitive than most in this regard. My suggestion is to go to a tv store, sit at certain distances for a while, and see what works for you. good Luck
