  I think the general rule of thumb is that one should sit between three and four times the vertical height (not diagonal size) of the display ( this works for 4:3 and 16:9 displays). So for a 36" 4:3 TV the vertical height is about 21" and the optimum viewing distance would be between 63" and 84". Hope this helps

  This rule of thumb may have changed with HDTV and progressive scan. I think you can get as close as you want as long as you are not bothered by pixels or scan lines.
