The charts are more about finding the optimum size for your viewing distance than finding a distance for a given screen size.
The charts are a great place to start. And a big TV is a great place to start. My 60" plasma is in my living room right now, but it is destined for my man cave. It is attached to an AVR and surround sound speakers. I have a respectable library of amazing BD movies and a very comfortable reclining sofa. When you close the curtains, turn up the volume, and assume a reclining position, you are IN the movie. You don't get that in a theater and you don't get that on a PC screen.
