i have a 42" vizio...its mounted on my wall...

i'm really bored and was wondering if i put it on my computer desk as a computer monitor would that be entirely too close? it will be about 36" from my face while browsing and 8'-10' while lounging watching TV etc.

Well, I'm about 22" from my 24" monitor and I find that it hurts my neck looking up.

The quality of the moniter should be your first concern, as far as size goes, you can never go too big. (thats what she said)

i used a 37" as a monitor for a few months and that was way too large at a few feet away. if it was a 1080p that would be much better, but a 720p the text is going to be LARGE and in yo face

I use mine which is a 42 1080p, and honestly its fine for watching videos and shit but when it comes to reading it sucks. I get a headache constantly
