I imagine it would be like looking at a projection hologram trying to find the sweet spot.

Edit: The below link shows one of my Safari’s photographed from about 4.5 feet away. For comparison, the color set is a Sony KV4000 with 3.7 inch screen.

Your observations at 4.5' track with mine. It's from more like 10-17' where you're on the edge of cropping the image where the full magnification effect is realized...It scales fairly linearly down as you get closer.
