The X axis should go from 10 to 60, the Y axis should go from 1ft to 30ft, max.
As it is, it's not all that useful for figuring out what the density limits of a desktop monitor are. (Average desktop monitor sizes occupy maybe 1/12 of the X axis!)
But gee, one length (viewing distance) is in different units than the other length (screen diagonal size). Hilarious.
It doesn't really say, but I would guess it has to do with when you start to see individual pixels.
