The best formula for viewing distance for a high scan and hd projection sets are 2x the diagonal dimension. This is because the internal line doublers/quadruplers create finer scanlines on ntsc signals, and virtually nonexistent scanlines on hd broadcasts.

i.e. 61" set, ideal distance is 61"x2=122" or about 10 feet. From
my personal experience, minimum is 9' to about 11' max
53" set, 53x2=106" or about 8.8 feet +/- 1'
