The CaveCreations link is likely the best at giving what the relative screen
images will be based on diagonal size and aspects ratio. BTW, I went from a
27" tube to a 42" LCD at the same 8-9 foot distance and it seemed HUGE for
about 2 weeks. After another month or 2, I was thinking I could have gone to
a 50 incher. I don't think you can avoid effects of initial impressions and
the desenitization that comes from having the new set around for a while. If
need be, why not just make cut-outs of the relative sizes? I have heard of
people who do that when trying to figure out how to move a "big box" unit
down basement stairs, for example.
YMMV
