there is actually a standard distance away from a screen that determines maximum viewing pleasure , I think it is 10ft but that is a rule of thumb it changes due to screen size.

I think it has something to do with full vision of the screen at any time so your its centerted and a particular percentage of your field of vision. I couldnt find the study which was for sports and movie watching but I bet such a standard is even more important for gaming.

Basically relatively speaking your screen should be the same size in your field of view but the fact that its bigger allows for better detailing.

4000px from 5 feet doesnt look at good as 8000px from 10 feet even thought they fill up the same area in your field of view
