40 inches isn’t really big enough to be experiencing the benefit of 1080 lines, from any great distance.
here’s a chart you can look at, based on appreciable resolution, screen size, and viewing distance.http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/12/09/108…
1080 is quite a jump in TV res, and great for future-resistance, since the screen size required to make it beneficial to most people, is actually quite large.
720 lines is usually the most people would benefit from, unless they sit right in front of their TV playing console games, or something.
For you, it looks like between 5 to 7 feet would be optimal.

I’ve read somewhere that if you have a 32″-36″ about 8-10 feet 40″-46″ about 10-12 feet and 50″-60″ 13-18 feet but don’t quote me cuz I can’t remember where I read it!

5 to 8 feet sounds about right.
