What counts is the subtended angle.

At theaters I prefer the first row of risers in stadium-seating mode; that's the angle I choose at home too. In addition my eye-level is one-third the way up the screen. (Yes the screen is low, I hate getting a crook in my neck.)

One caveat: To sit that close (nine feet on a 94"er) there must be no visible image structure.

P.A.

I read that somewhere and fully agree with it after much experimenting over the years. My buddy just bought a 60" plasma which is placed, in the most common bad spot; above the fireplace. It is the only option in his living room, but it's horrible IMO.
He intentionally placed his downstairs 60" the same way (completely open to put where he wanted down there).
My 110" is 1/3 below my eye height. Our 50" is a bit lower but just because I had a stand (long narrow, low table) for it kicking around.
