I was wondering what it was with today's graphic cards. Also, would sitting infront of a huge setup of monitors be detrimental to your eyes?
I remember reading somewhere that they conducted a study of how TV/monitors effect vision over time. It basically concluded that sitting in front of a monitor or TV for long periods of time(and being really close) didn't have any kind of long term negative effects but would increase eye strain for the time being. So the old wives tale of sitting in front of the TV would make your eyes bad is more myth than anything but you may experience eye strain quicker which could lead to headaches. It's always good to keep a safe distance and take breaks every so often to give your eyes a chance to rest.
