Also how big is ur monitor.

Been keeping it pushed all the way back to my desk (24 inch screen), but always was slouching over to get closer, so I just moved it like "all up in my face." It is like about two feet away I guess right now. Just wondering if this is "the norm" or if it is possibly "unhealthy"?

Size "is" 19". I sit "about" 2' away on "average."

The recommended viewing range that I've found is 20 to 40 inches.

15 but I'm like probably a little less than 2 feet. The thing is I sit close to the desk because I don't want to pull out the keyboard tray so I'm closer to the monitor than I probably should be. Looking to get a 20 inch so when I lay down to watch movies I can see them better.

22" widescreen. I sit about 2' from it I would say. Sometimes closer, sometimes farther.

I have a 22" widescreen for my main screen in front of me and a 17" on the little step this desk has (hard to explain). Dual screens fucking rock, actually considering setting up a third (which would make four if I get my laptop up and running with synergy).

Probably like two feet away from the main and a bit more from the secondary.

I'm using a 17" monitor and I'm no more than 2' away and it's more than adequate.

i lost my glasses at bonnaroo so i have to sit mad close and people always mention it, like way less than a foot on average unless i'm watching a movie, then about two feet, but if i'm reading it's like 8 inches although i guess i can see from like a fooot and a half away.

Right now I'm conciousensasly trying to be further

Gotta really small screen. Probably a foot away from it, naturally.
