Depends on the font size. (I'm not being flippant here.) In Win7 I set
Control-Panel/Display to "Medium" which suits me, but it's a very
subjective thing.

Funnily enough, I sit with my face approximately that distance from the
screen and everything is perfectly legible. Running the tv at its
native resolution helps, so you don't lose sharpness from aliasing (aka
fuzzy-wuzzies).
A 50" screen will seem massive at first, but you very quickly get used
to it. It's fantastic for watching movies, etc. but normal PC use is
also perfectly possible. I use a wireless keyboard and mouse.
Don't forget in the vast majority of Windows-compliant apps you can
change the displayed font size with ctrl-alt-<Numeric+> and ctrl-alt-
<Numeric->.

I was going to get a 46" but am very glad I got this one. 300 quid in
the Jan sales, IPS panel, it's a cracker. Back up to 379 most places
now.
