appears to be the same size from 9 feet away as a smaller TV does from 28 inches away?

Like if I have a 23.5 inch computer monitor, what size TV would I need to make it appear the same size from 9 ft away as my 23.5 inch monitor does from 28 inches?

It probably is a simple pyramid formula where you know the base rectangle and height. And you want the measurements of the base rectangle when it is closer to the tip.
Well that was confusing. I dont know how to tell that better. I dont have the english words for that.

Well I did some measuring from different distances (how long does a 23.5 inch object look from 28 inches away and 110 inches away) and I did a few maths from that to find that I would need about a 60 or 65 inch TV. Damn, way out of my price range. I suppose I could settle for a 50 inch.
