From a Vogels pdf:
Screen size *** Optimal viewing distance *** Acceptable viewing distance
14 inch *** 50 cm *** 50-70 cm
15 inch *** 60 cm *** 55-75 cm
17/18 inch *** 70 cm *** 60-85 cm
21/22 inch *** 90 cm *** 75-105 cm
After asking a few questions on monitor specific threads i was wondering if everyone that reads this could list the size of their screen alongside the distance from their eyes to the front of the screen. Also whether that feels comfortable.
My desk is 71cm deep and i think that is deep enough (when touching the wall) but not according to the above chart.
Please post as i'm trying to get some sort of consensus. Thanks to all who post here.
I'll start off with mine:
Screen size: 19" widescreen
Distance from eyes to screen: Approx 60cm
Comfortable? Yes
