No college degree needed thank God, just turn on your left brain.
Col 1-3 and 6-7 is YOUR TV. This is your TV size and what you are watching.
Col 4-5 then is the optimal viewing distance.
So pick a row applicable to you, then BAM, move to col 4-5 and that's where you are "supposely" seating.

Ok, i stands for interlased & p stands for progressive. These are the two ways a TV can display or render a picture on your set. Interlased is when the picture is split into two, with each part having odd OR even lines (rows of pixals) i.e. 1, 3, 5, 7 ..... while the other has 2, 4, 6, 8 and so on. The picture is then displayed by alternating the two halfs so fast that it looks like one image (if your in the US then most TV stuff is at 60 frames per second as such 30 of them are made of odd lines & 30 of even lines). Progressive on the other hand is when the picture is displayed whole, so you would get 60 complete frames a second for NTSC US TV broadcast. The pdf is essentially telling you optimum seating distance from your monitor ...pick the size of your monitor/TV, the display resolution i.e. Do you have 1080p televisions (or i for that matter) & then cross referance it with the seating distance. Hope that helps
Cheers,
Jiff

1080p is better because the image is in "true" 1920x1080 resolution, meaning the whole frame appears on the screen at the same time. In interlaced formats like 1080i, only half of the image is on the screen at any given moment (odd and even lines alternate). So theoretically, a frame in 1080i contains half the pixels of a frame in 1080p. 1080p is the newer and the better tech.
Columns 2&3 tell you the width and height of the image in a widescreen 720i/p or 1080i/p formats, as well as 4:3 picture stretched out to widescreen. Columns six and seven tell you the width and diagonal of the image that is not widescreen, 4:3 aspect ratio like in older tube televisions.
Computer screens are usually progressive scan displays, so your monitor is likely a p. Look at the monitor's specs and find the maximum resolution. If the smaller side is bigger than 1080 pixels, then it can do 1080p. If it is between 720 and 1080, it can do 720p but not 1080p.

ohhh okay, well heres the screen i have http://www.i-inc-usa.com/product/if281.htm , so screens are generally p? and how do i kno which mode it is in 1080 p or 720 p? also with i screens how do you tell the difference if its i or p when you watch it? and one last thing, i noticed the sitting distance is farther for 720p than 1080p
so is it bad to sit close to a screen using 720p? and one more thing does the seating distance change if the screen is i or p? im not sure
one last thing, does it matter if the tv is plasma or lcd? and is my computer screen a plasma or lcd?
also what does hdmi stand for?
and is my monitor on my computer the equivalent of a tv? or is there something different with monitors than tvs?

Make it easy on yourself. Get as big a screen, and highest resolution you can afford.
