Would be a more useful graph if the y axis cut off at 10, less than a quarter of what it plots.

Not sure what universe where discussing the merits of 480p at 45 ft is relevant, but it ain't this one. If I'm sitting 8 ft away from my TV, I will notice the difference if my screen is over 60 inches, which is where a vast majority of consumers operate.
