If you sit straight the top of your monitor's display should have the same height as your eyes.

You are experiencing eye strain.  Before you go back, seat yourself in your customary distance from you computer, then measure the distance between you eyes and the monitor.  I ended up with special glasses only for the computer for middle distance to ameliorate eye strain.  Also, ask about coatings to diminish reflection.  Reflections in your glasses can cause strain you are not even aware of.  Finally, when you return to the optician, have him check the lenses.  The is an accepted measure of variance in the grinding of lenses. In my case, my prescription cannot accept that deviation at all, so make sure you prescription was ground spot on.  Good luck.

An IBM monitor is the best bet.

Try this one..when you work on a computer for 20 minutes, get your eyes some rest for 2 minutes and keep a distance at your computer. It works for me.

There are certain medical problems that can be caused by being in front of a computer for too long.  for instance, the glare of the computer screen as well as the amouint of time focusing on one thing can cause headaches and blurry eyes.  Also, the constant typing of the keyboard can lead to carpal tunnel syndrome.  By staying in the same sitting position for hours on end can also lead to back problems.  Eveyr 20 minutes or so you shoujld stand up and stretch, focus on some other thing for alittle while to give your eyes a rest and hyperextend your back...

right click on your desktop and click properties.  Click the settings tab, then advanced button.  then click the monitor tab.  use the drop down arrow to select the highest refresh rate that your monitor will use.  if you select one that is too high your monitor will turn off for 15 seconds.\nhigher refresh rates are better for your eyes\n\nthere should be some buttons on the front of your monitor.  play with these buttons to change the size of your screen, so you have less borders on your monitor,\nthe basic proccess for this is go through a menu to get to a certain type of ajustment, say, making the screen bigger vertically, then either plus or minus it.   other settings are to rotate, make it not buldge on teh sides. and others\n\nif you want more space on your desktop, right click on the desktop and click properties. then click the settings tab, and slide the slider bar to the right. if your monitor does not support the setting it will turn off for 15 seconds or so

I work with a guy who is a computer programmer, he spends a lot of time on the computer and I noticed he recently started using a large ball, like the ones you can get to exercise with. seems to work for him.\n\nI, myself, prefer a chair with a stiff back.

Don't slouch.  Be conscience of standing tall and keeping your spine straight.

As a big guy myself (6'5", 250lbs), I would suggest a solid framed mountain bike with a hard tail (no rear suspension.)  The rear suspension will bounce more and cause you to work harder.  I would recommend a front suspension, if you can find one in your price range, as it will increase the comfort.  Try looking in a discount sports store locally and see what they have to offer.  Your options will be limited by your price point but you may find something.\n\nAfter looking at the options, you might consider heading to a local bike shop to see if they know of anyone selling a pre-owned bike that would fit your needs.  Sometimes they will know of people trying to sell bikes.  They might even be able to put you on something that will work for a good price.

72 is the default for programs like photoshop, but you can change it to a higher ppi (pixels per inch). Standard monitors have a resolution of 96 . So it really depends. Typical post-2000 monitors can display between 72 and 130 pixels per inch.

Adjust the monitor! Not the video card!

Well, the quoted size of a monitor measures its diagonal. \n\nA 22 inch 16:9 monitor would have dimensions of 19.17 x 10.78\nor 207 sq in.\n\nA 15 inch 4:3 monitor would have dimensions of 12 x 9 inches or 108 sq in. So two of them would be 216 sq in. The combined viewing surface would be 24 x 9 inches if you arrange them horizontally, or 12 x 18 inches if arranged vertically. Depends what you want to do with them.\n\nNot much difference in area. But consider that you'll have a single uninterrupted display surface with the 22 incher. I'd go for the 22 inch monitor.\n\nYou'll want to be sure you can supply a high enough resolution to the 22 inch monitor, preferably at least 1600 pixels horizontally
