Porn is best viewed using binoculars through an open window while sitting in a parked car outside by the curb.

Screen size x 2.5. In your case 18 feet, so you are right in range.

I prefer 1080i, but there is not much difference. 720p is just as good as
1080i.

Ohhhh yeah! I have a 720P LCD, and PS3.... I haven't plugged in the PS3, as I'm waiting for my HDMI cable to arrive.

You should probably be around 15 feet.

EDIT: Looks like 13 feet is optimal for 1080p resolution.

I sit 6ft from my 42" screen. Sitting at the right distance and viewing angle makes world of difference.
