Ideally, sitting about an arm’s length away or a distance of approximately 18 to 24 inches would be best. This will give you a clear view without straining your eyes. If you’re anything like me, there may be times when you sit a little closer, like when you’re gaming, watching a movie, or editing details in a photo or video. The optimal distance will depend on your activity and comfort level. It’s important to remember that you should take regular breaks to help combat eye strain. It can be as simple as walking around your home for five minutes or looking at something in the distance for a short period.
