With HDTV, you can still have a very high-quality viewing experience as
close as 1" of TV width for every 2" of distance. The 5" is probably a
better guess for SDTV. Unfortunately, if you're watching both HDTV and
SDTV on the same screen, you either end up with small HDTV or
low-quality SDTV. I figure I'll go for the larger screen so that the
low-quality SDTV makes me appreciate the HDTV even more. :)
