Is it bad to move LCD screen when the computer is on?

What do you prefer - big screen or LCD TV as a computer screen to protect eye sight?

• Hi experts, I think that the excessive workload has weakened my eyesight as I am glued to the computer for so many hours during day and night in connection with the translation work. The number of eyeglasses keeps increasing after every year or so? So I am worried about it. I want to know from the experienced translators whether a big screen is useful for eyes? Does it cause less strain than the normal screen because the words are bigger in the big screen? Before I buy an expensive item, could you please guide me which is better as a computer screen - LCD TV or a big monitor? Thanks and regards, Chopra

• Answer:

  From my experience the larger screen is harder on my eyes because i have to scan from left to right farther then i would with a smaller monitor, the best thing you can do tpo relieve eye strain is place a backlight behind the monitor to reduce the excessive change in contrast from the screen to the background
