Hmmmmmm.....
45" diagonal with 1920 x 1080 resolution. The screen is 4439 inches 
wide, 22 inches tall which means it has 49 samples per inch.

I wonder what viewing distance this display is optimized for?

In order to perceive this level of detail, by my calculations, one 
would need to sit in the range of 4-5 feet from the display.

3.3 picture heights would be six feet.

Sounds like a great information display for digital signage 
applications, but overkill for an HDTV display, for which 1280 x 720 
is ideal for a display of this size when viewed at typical viewing 
distances 9-11 feet.
