If 2ft from a 40" monitor is fine for your neck, again, glad it works for you. But ergonomics is about avoiding strain and injuries not the minimum your retina

If 2ft from a 40" monitor is fine for your neck, again, glad it works for you. But ergonomics is about avoiding strain and injuries not the minimum your retina needs to distinguish letters on a screen.
- swiftcoder 3y agoThe 2ft was in reference to the 32" monitor Dell's advice references. I sit roughly 3ft 6in away from the screen in my desk setup - which per a Television-oriented calculator is about optimal for a 40" panel. I'm honestly not sure why PC-oriented calculators are so much more conservative about field-of-view than THX is.
- teg4n_ 3y agoProbably because with PCs you typically want to be able to focus on any particular part of the screen without moving your head a lot while with a tv relying on more peripheral vision is normal and expected.
- dr_kiszonka 3y agoI don't know much about monitor ergonomics. Is the principle here that it is better not to move your head?
