Am I too close for 2 24" monitors?

[Redgie]

So I currently use a 22" ViewSonic at a distance of 60-70cm, along with an old LG monitor I found around the house to the left of it, at a distance of 50-60cm (Depending on my sitting position). The monitors are only used for work and gaming, no films / TV.

My question is, is this too close to upgrade to two 24" monitors? I use them in work but am able to sit slightly further away, I'm less concerned about the middle monitor as it will only be marginally bigger than my current one, but the one to the left would be going from ~15" to 24" at a distance of potentially just 45cm or so?

Pic of current setup (Imagine each monitor replaced by a 24"):

Appreciate any and all feedback from people in a similar situation.

Thanks !

Christ, am amazed you can see anything.

I have 3 24"'s at 40cm (abouts) in-front of me and before that, I had a 40" HDTV at the same distance.

Hah, well the HDTV seems a tad extreme But good to know on the other bit

I'm currently using a 22" ViewSonic myself but have a 24" Dell on its way, I'll be using both of them at a similar distance to yourself so if you're still wondering by early next week I'll be able to answer....
(OK, so someone else already answered, but a second opinion will be given whether you want it or not! )

30cm is the distance from a screen you should be. I'm about that on a 27" and then got a 24" not much more.

really? I'd always heard just outside arms length which for me is is about 70cm. Maybe that's why I always find the writing a bit small on my 22"! Though, I've a 15" 1080p laptop, that writing really is too small
