Right now, I am using a 42" Panasonic Plasma which I do love very much, however my complaint right now is that I sit about 2-3' away from the TV, and it causes eye strain. Now this was not a problem before when I sat perhaps 4-5' away, but since it turned into a computer monitor, that is when I noticed the issue. My question is this: I could easily sell it and the PS3 which I never use anymore, and buy a nice monitor. The hard choice I am having right now is do I get a 27-30" display, or do I get 3 good 24" monitors and rock a 3 monitor setup.
As far as what I use it for, this is mainly used as a gaming setup, movies (I sit in the computer chair to watch them), writing, and youtube. The computer right now is simply a Macbook Pro 13", which will soon be changed over to a gaming PC (If I did the 3 monitor setup, I would start with 1 for now, and then get the other 2 with the PC). I like the idea of the field of view with the 3 24" monitors, but I also like the bigger 30" monitor for movies.
This goes back to my original problem though of eye strain. I'm not sure if it is due to the plasma display, it being so big, or if it is simply because I am not use to seeing something so close up and it will eventually go away. This is what makes me think maybe the 30" monitor would be nice, but EyeFinity just looks so amazing for gaming and productivity. Anyone have any experience with this? Any recommendations?
