In an age when screens grow ever larger and living rooms double as private cinemas, a quiet ergonomic truth reasserts itself: proximity is not intimacy.

A formula as old as optics — screen diagonal multiplied by 1.5 — offers a free and immediate remedy, reminding us that wisdom in how we inhabit our spaces often matters more than the tools we place within them.
