24 inches away from my 19 inch

When you see those health posters they sit say miles and miles away. It's stupid, unless you're running at 640x480

I agree...they started all that back when 640x480 and 800x600 were the resolutions most people used and monitors were like 13 inches and it seems like they still go by those. Now I can understand if you have like a 30 inch screen and you're 15 inches away from it

1.5 meters atleast on my 15" CRT monitor with res 1024 X 768 pixels at 32bit color. The reason is my chair is almost reclined to the maximum with keyboard and mouse on my lap :p

Me.

I'm ~2.5 feet away from my monitor when I am reclining in my seat, with the keyboard on my lap.

ditto that

Read somewhere years ago that you should be at least arms length from the monitor to reduce eye strain. Or maybe it was an ergonomic class at work, I don't remember.

What are tha chances that I had a tape measure on my desk :p

At the moment, I'm sitting how I usual do and I'm 34" away.

Edit: Running 1280x1024 on a 19" LCD
