"Just what does the size of screen have to do with quality?" Lots.

Not *because* it's larger, rather because defects are more readily seen on it and improvements undertaken. Most material looks fine on my 1m tube, but play it on a good projector and large screen and it's sometimes unwatchable.
Thus, properly equipped, one may answer questions that cannot be addressed otherwise. For instance, how good is the ultimate NTSC experience?

What matters is the viewing angle, not size. A 10 foot screen viewed from 20 feet will give you worse "quality resolution" than a 1m screen viewed from 1.5m.
Also don't forget washng off with ambient light - tubes and plasma are far more tolerant of that, unless you have a completely dark room.

  Of course viewing angle is held mutatis mutandis; that should go without saying.
  However, viewing a tube at 1.5m has other problems.
  Dark rooms are standard in such evaluations.
  My word stands.
