Nothing prevents you from positioning your seats closer to the screen if you only have one or two, on the contrary it will provide for a better viewing experience with HD flat panels, and the idea that being too close to your TV is uncomfortable is a relic from the days of CRTs that flickered like hell and had really low pixel pitch.

That is incorrect.
The resting vergence distance for the eye is ~1.5meter
The natural relaxed focal distance of the eye's lens is ~1.5meter
This is minimal distance something should be viewed when considering Viewing Comfort.
2-4 meter is absolutely the proper distance given the size of most people's domiciles and the availability of screen sizes. Farther is always better if not constrained by Size of equipment or Space.
