i tell my customers 2 to 3 times the screen size. so on a 50" tv, you want to be about 100-150" back -- ballpark it at 12ft.

however, i always tell people they need to realize just how big a 60" tv is. it's pretty darn big - we're talking five feet diagonally. if you get one that is too big for your viewing distance, it's akin to sitting at the front of a movie theater ... the size of the screen overwhelms you.

of course, i have a 60" myself, but i'm sitting pretty far back....somewhere around 15' i think...
