Are these figures for progressive or interlaced pictures? 5' away from a 37" screen seems uncomfortably close for relaxed viewing. Yep you might notice some of the fine detail, on the other hand you could get a sun tan from the luminance of the screen.

It depends on what you are doing. We sit close to computer screens, because we need to read the fine detail of text, we're absorbed in a game or whatever. TV we tend to want to be further away, relaxed on our sofa. However the images typically displayed on the TV are much larger intended for such relaxed viewing.
