It's not really too close, could be a tad farther away. 7' max to even bother with 1080 for a 42-incher, otherwise might as well be 720 or less.
I always say get as close as you can until you can start seeing the individual pixels, then back off a bit. A larger display allows you to back off proportionately more without totally losing the HD resolution.
As I mentioned before, there is a depth you will get out of a hi-res source with a plasma that cannot be measured, this is the icing on it. And as was mentioned by others, I hope you're not neglecting the HD audio. Of course you're not, this may be enough of a BD selling point even if the video isn't...
