If you still believe that you should be worrying more about your thinking process rather than your eyes.

The effects of sitting in front a PC monitor for prolonged time frames is pretty drawn out.  You can in effect stay in front of one for 24 hours, assuming you take breaks every few hours for at least 10  minutes to give your eyes a rest.\n\nI would reccomend no more than 12 hours per day in front of the monitor.  And if you do more, at least take a break every few hours for 10 minutes a time and focus on more 'lit' objects, to give your eyes a rest.  \n\nDoctors reccomend no more than 12, and that's a good thing to stick with.

Wow, your computer still works?  I am impressed...\n\nMagnets will usually distort the monitor, disrupt what being read and written on the hard drive, disaable the mouse or pointing devices and much much more.

It will look just like normal TV looks through the tuner card. Windowed you're fine. If you go fullscreen it will look bad because a TV's resolution is really low when compared to a computer screen.

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

My eye doctor told me one of the problems is that, when you work on a computer, you don't use your eyes to focus at different distances the way you do in other types of work.  He recommended looking across the room at a clock or reading from a paper or some other way to exercise focusing your eyes at different distances. Set a timer to make sure you do it regularly.  I also think working long hours on a computer may be harmful because the computer screen is a light source and you're looking right at it.  It might help to have a lot of light in the room to counter the effects of that.

In the advanced display driver settings you may be a setting that allows you to rotate it that way.  The setting does not necessarily have to be within the monitor's OSD.

No. definitely not normal. Your cable attached to your pc is maybe loose. Or if it's attached to AGP card, The card is not seated properly. Or try reinstalling the viewsonic drivers.

Windowblinds would not mess up your monitor settings.

it can put extra strain on your eyes trying to look at a screen. but if you have pleny of lights on and can clearly see whats on the screen it should be alright. another thing that could end up hurting your eyes is keeping them open too long while staring. eyes will get overly dry and over time that can lead to more serious eye sight problems. keep good care of your eyes.. there the only ones you got!

You wouldn't ruin your eyesight for years and years. Modern computer screens are low-radiating.\nThat's just something parents say. There are other reasons why they don't want you infornt of the PC all day....\n\nAnd Dar, you also asked about porn, so I see a connection here. If you watch porn on the PC - I can see why they don't want you there all day, right?

I hope I'm wrong, But if the bars that you are talking about are on both sides, that means that the circutry that explands the horizontal are defective... if it is a desktop, try a different monitor, probably you'll find out that the problem goes away, which only means that is time for an upgrade... if it is on a laptop... is even worse... you'd have to find someone to repair it... but like I said, hopefully I'm wrong...

Well, I dont think it can make you go blind, BUT it does put strain on your eyes. It is recommended that if you are going to be on the computer for a long amount of time, to take a break every 15 minutes just to look away from the screen and allow your eyes to focus on something in the distance.

it is very possible that spending a whole lot of time on a computer can cause damage to your eyes. it strains your eyes and can wear them out. my mom always says that i shouldnt spend more than an hour or so online without letting my eyes rest. that said, reading and doing other activities like that can also strain your eyes.

the images on a computer screen are "hard" or "fixed" images.  Staring at the screen for long periods of time can damage your eyes.  Give you eyes a break by looking out the window for 5 minutes every hour.  Good luck
