Probably not. THX recommends sitting at 1.2 x diagonal size for optimum field of view experience (40 degrees fov). That's 4.6ft from 46" or 5.2ft from 52". 1080p isn't enough at that distance, and you can easily see the difference between native and upscaled 1080p.

I sit at about 1.5 x diagonal size from my projector screen. Kinda closest where 1080p still looks good, and the difference between native and upscaled is very visible. When 4K projectors become affordable I can finally move the couch forward (for movies anyway)
The SMPTE standard for 1080p suggest sitting at 1.63 x diagonal size for 30 degrees fov, still very noticeable. But if people want to play with 15-20 degrees field of view (3.8 - 2.8 x diagonal), sure you will have trouble spotting the difference.

i sit about 3 feet from my 48" lol

so on that graph for me ultra HD would be worth it.. i wish i had the money :P

You could use 8K at that distance...
60 degree field of view is nice, you're almost at the VR experience! (occulus rift has 90 degrees horizontal fov = 2ft from a 48" screen)
