Sitting closer to a smaller screen is not the same experience for most
people. To take this to an obvious extreme, imagine watching a movie
on your smartphone held up to your nose versus watching a movie in a
theater. There are some folks who will always prefer the latter, and
I'm one of them.

Personally, I don't sit 3 or 4 feet back from my monitor, but the way
my eyes work, sitting close enough to see individual pixels on a
screen is not as comfortable as sitting farther away. I suspect
antialiasing is more effective if you can't see individual pixels. In
any case, different people's eyes work differently.
