How far is the center monitor from your face? It looks really far away in some pictures. Is it close enough for basic everyday PC tasks like email?

Hello, obviously the distance will vary as you slide the seat forward/aft but the average distance is 32" (seat in middle position).

I use it primarily in portrait view as my second monitor to look at full web pages, email, and spreadsheets. I am working at it most of the day, and have not had any sort of eye fatigue. It has a matt finish which cuts the glare. Almost a bit to much matte finish might be my only critique. It takes a bit of sharpness out of the small text I am reading, but that is a pretty picky point. Generally I am totally stoked about it. Still several months after I got it, I still have not taken for granted how much more productive it is to have one monitor in landscape and a great freaking big one in portrait view.

My opinion is somewhere in between. it is about 2 inches shorter than my full size ( standard Dell ) and a bit bigger than my tablet. I took a picture of the 3 side by side, but don't see where I can upload to show you.

I'm curious how the computer linked with to the large plasma screen looks. I would think that 1024 x 768 on such a large screen might look a bit fuzzy or pixelated. Do you see problems with this? Would you recommend going for a higher resolution?

I agreed with you that I will use mouse to do any photo works. I'm looking for a laptop that can run Photoshop CS3 efficiently. I am debating whether I need a good desktop instead of laptop. If this laptop can do the work with my IPS monitor, then I don't need to buy a separate desktop any more. I like the laptop because it is light and easy to carry. I wish this is 11 inches instead of 12.1 inches. Any comment?

It gets the job done but I think the monitor is to big. If you play a lot of Competitive Cs:Go or alot of ESEA try out another monitor that's not as big as sometimes you wont see people on the side of your screen. If you play casual then go for it. Really nice monitor.

The DPI is unspecified in the product guide shipped with the device. However, there is a button, just in front of the scroll wheel, that allows you to increase the sensitivity of mouse movements. I've found it to be quite precise, but I wouldn't select it if you might be using it for photo editing, etc. For normal use in everyday computing, it's perfectly acceptable.

The 'desk' area is a soft surface. It is at such an angle, that I have some difficulty keeping my pc on it. Wish the lip was a little higher. As I like using a mouse rather than the keyboard, I just 'read' on it.

About 16" or so. Just eyeing it up. For a basic monitor, it is pretty good.

I run it for basic usage, not for gaming. The scree is shiny to me. and I watch video on youtube, for my personal feeling, the screen is OK.The laptop's weak-point (for most Acer laptop), when you type the keyboard, sometimes the focus jump away.

Indeed, in line with CNET's review, I've found there is a difference when viewed from off-center. Our set is about 110" away from our couch (2 screen widths), and the vertical center of the screen is about 6" above eye level. When viewed about 5-6' laterally off-center, there is a definite difference - the image appears slightly duller. This does not get any worse the further out you go, but I've only gone another 3' laterally. I was disappointed that I could notice a difference, but to be honest, after owning the set for a month, I can't really see this difference anymore, and have absolutely no qualms about sitting 5-6' off-center. However, I can still detect a difference in the vividness of this set vs. the LN46A650 in our bedroom.

Commercial photo of these monitors will often look impressive. But really though they correspond to its size in inches, very compact. In addition, they are slightly rounded, though not as well rounded as RP8G2, that I had before. But RP8G2 really very large.Now I can show you a screenshot, just took his Cup of coffee in the morning. I hope this helps you understand better :) http://screencast.com/t/oWI1cuwUB8Gt

I'm not at home right now so I can't measure the distance for you but I will say NOT far enough. I'm living with it but my mouse always needs to be reset because it is too far under the desktop. Like I said it is livable, but certainly not ideal. I hope this helps.

I never tried looking a a computer screen with the lens before but, I tried it just now for you and it seemed to do the job well. Your eye can be very close to the lens, right up on it really. Hope this helped you out. PS. I really like this light.

I didn't secure my display to the Varidesk. I like having the option to move the monitor around on it. When I work seated, I want the monitor at the front of the desk. When I stand to work, I push the monitor to the back so I have room to also put my keyboard and mouse on the platform as well.

No, the keyboard tray is a fixed distance from the monitor. My biggest issue with this product. (I'm tall)
