A very large display. I got a 4k 43” display, with a bit of retina magnification, and I can sit properly without slumping, my back fully straight on my seat.
I don’t suffer back pain anymore.
- alias_neo 5y agoHow far are you sitting from that monster? I've never understood having large format displays for work (programming in my case). I once (before children) had 3x28" 4K displays but they had to wrap pretty tight around my sitting position otherwise I had no chance of seeing what's at the far ends.
- alanfranz 5y agoI think my desk is about 90cm deep, I’d say I stay about 100/120cm from my eyes to the display. Sometimes I just don’t place things to the edges or the very bottom. A 37” or 40” display would suffice but I didn’t find any, and 32” is too small imho.
- alias_neo 5y agoOh yeah a metre plus is pretty far. I sit about 30-40cm from my screen unless I'm sitting back in my chair.
- alanfranz 5y agoBut the whole point IS sitting back in your chair. Much better posture! Btw I performed some measurements and real distance is more like 90cm.
- alias_neo 5y agoThat makes sense. When I say "sitting back" I mean leaning back, which is closer to the real distance I should be. I downsized my desk significantly when we had kids so that's the reason for sitting so close. We're currently working on resolving the space situation then maybe I too can switch to a monster sized monitor!
- BiteCode_dev 5y agoThat's why I have high hopes for the Simula One. I always feel like I could get a bigger screen. Finally, I may be able to nothing but screen.
