I can or I might go up to a 37" set but do not want a 42" set. It is just too big even if I could afford it. The maximum veiwing distance for a 42" was 8 feet. I am thinking no way! I should be able to see a 32 or 37" television from 14 feet easy.

What size TV do you have now?
A
42" flatscreen will display normal TV content at the size of a
conventional 34" TV.
This page explains why flatscreen TVs display content SMALLER than conventional TVs.
I don't know about viewing charts/distance; but I do know your new "bigger" TV might be
smaller.
