You can not be anymore than six seven feet or so from a 50-inch set to discern 1080p resolution. Much more than that and 720p will give you the same result. In any case, dive in; you'll love 720p.

If two or more people are watching at once, it'd be difficult to sit close enough to see the difference, especially on cable. I've been watching a 55" 720p for almost 3 years now and still enjoy it immensely. With 42" 720p will be fine. Enjoy! You'll even notice the improvement over cable or dish when you get a Blu-ray player.
