That is about what I sit back now, 2 feet. Thanks for the psu requirements of newer video cards, I'll put this in my LCD notes. Good advise, buy the monitor first, if results are not the desired look at a new video card. Sort of catch 22, I wouldn't know for sure what the new monitor's looks should be but I'm sure I would be able to tell. Thanks much Don......
