Better letterboxed than cropped, although I know some people would disagree. I would much rather see a move the way the director and cameraman intended, even if that does mean a smaller image and black areas at top and bottom.

That thing is huge! With a desk that small, you're right on top of it, so there'll be a tendency toward eye strain.

Does that model come with bluetooth? If so, eventually you could get keyboard and mouse unwired, and be at a slightly better ergonomic distance for vision. 65 cm to 70 cm from the display is often used as a good distance in the ergonomic literature. Googling it should give you more info.

Have gobs of fun. :D

Thanks. :)

Yeah i have it set up in the corner, and i have my chair pretty far back. I'd say i'm at least 3 feet from the screen at all times

You are wise beyond your years, oh young one. :p

Or was that wise between your ears...

Or...

Dang it, I get so confused!
