Viewing distances

What resolution? 1080p would definitely look ropey with a screen that big from 70cm away.
It also depends what you are doing. Fast moving video is disorientating when it fills that much of your vision but if you are reading text/web browsing then it might be alright.
I find 27" ideal from that distance myself.

You should be fine. I use such monitors from 70-80cm generally and don't have any problems.
There is the technical or scientific aspect to size/distance, a sort of law of variable proportions or law of diminishing returns if you like, no point investing in something that the acuity of the eye and vision can not differentiate or perceive, lots of info on the net to make an informed choice. On the gaming side of things i think it is a personal thing, one size does not necessarily fit all, i use a 24 inch monitor and i have to sit over three feet away for comfortable viewing when gaming.
Unless you have very good vision 1440p should provide sufficient pixel density. You might find yourself having to turn your head a tiny bit to see the corners of the screen though. If it's an option then it might be worth considering a curved screen.
Spent the day sitting in front of a 27" 2560x1440 monitor (Thunderbolt Display) at about 60cm (ish, not measured). Seemed good and I think 27" was a good size. I tried a 32" TV, borrowed from a friend, when I got home and I had to move my head too much for my liking.
I think I'll place my order for the Samsung 27D850D, I hope it's a good panel!
