[QUOTE="ClockworkWorld, post: 1171399, member: 182559"] When we got our iMac 27 inch, my wife and I both felt the strain on both our necks, and our eyes. You really have to make sure you get that beautiful display mounted at the proper level, and distance from your eyes. Even after adjusting it, we felt some discomfort for a few days or so. Our previous computers had much smaller displays. You'll certainly adjust, but make sure you find the proper placement, so that you don't hurt yourself. (It sounds silly to say that sitting in front of a screen wrong can cause damage, but it can in fact.) For us, the 27 inch is about well, 23-25 inches from our eyes, and it's on a desk that keeps it at a height so that my wife's eyes hit it about mid screen. It works for her, and it works for me as well. (I've read that you actually want to have the screen an equal distance from your eyes, as the display is large, for example, in this case, if that is true, it should be at least 27 inches from your eyes. But I'm not sure if that's necessary or true) [/QUOTE]
