How Big Is Your Monitor and How Far Away Do You Sit From It?

[supastar1568]

just curious. I think my eyesight has been getting worse since I went from my 14.1" on my laptop to my 17" that I currently have. I would love to get a bigger monitor, but I don't know if my eyes would like it.

OP, are you sure about this? Why do you feel it's getting worse? Maybe you should get your eyes checked, be sure to read past the (20/20) line, my sight is 20/13 so go and get it checked. The 20/15 and 20/13 and 20/10 lines are below where it says 20 on the chart. (25 is above it).
