Yes. That is sort of what I was getting to with the "Pixel Per Degree" being the better measure. I found a calculator for that and it has as part of the calculation the viewing distance. Anyway, in my short lived experiment (my wife wanted the TV back) I found that while my laptop and TV were both 1920x1080 the fonts on the laptop were crisp and clear no matter how close I put my nose to the screen. Not so the TV. Even when I moved to where we'd normally be watching the TV the fonts looked "strange". -- A motto of mine is: When in doubt, try it out
