Certainly true, but there are other factors. For example, I can watch a movie on my tablet at 1 ft from my face, and the field of view may indeed be similar to a movie theater, but it's not the same viewing experience. For one thing, I'd prefer my eyes were focused at distance, not at an intermediate range.

I guess I just mean that even if I COULD get the right apparent size by just putting my couch 4 feet from a 40" screen, I would not choose to do so if I could have a bigger screen and sit farther away.
