I just came across this video. I'm an Optometrist and just want to make sure you guys are aware to make sure you take breaks when you play games i.e. 20/20/20 rule. Plus it is recommended that your monitor is slightly downwards, not just for bad posture, but for dry eye ensuring that the eyes are able to blink fully as the aperture height is smaller. Eye strain can be caused by active accommodation (closer the screen) and double vision from extended eye movements. Because of this, I highly recommend everyone getting an eye exam because people who are farsighted tend to get more eyestrain than emmetropes and nearsighted people (lots of people are farsighted, you can't confuse farsightedness with presbyopia in older people), often glasses helps relieve that eye strain. I hope this helps. Good video :)

Rambo is hands down the most experienced and best teacher. He is calm, collected - and well informed. If you get him to coach you not only will he answer you and help you out for free. but you can literally see the care he has for the community and esports as whole. this is just something i felt like i had to do btw

[NewstylzDrawings]

Ergonomically I think it’s better to be eye level with the centre of the monitor as opposed to the top of the monitor to not cause eye strain when looking down all the time and to not cause neck pain when having your neck slightly tilted down to look at the screen, often at the centre.

I've been using the arm length distance technique for a long time in order to be more comfortable over extended periods of time staring at a monitor, and I think it was worth adapting to it. Thank you.

I like these kind of videos. love your channel, man

[agressziv]

i love your videos, youre great being~

[Yoshi]

man for months i think about that, since i switched from _42" 60hz TV_ to a _24" 240hz monitor_ and now *YOU of all people* post a video to it
im so happy, thank you man :) you are very important m8, much love & respect
Edit: while i did not make clear why you are so important, its cuz you tackle the REAL problems that a gamer might have and give insight into *non-digital details* noone has ever talked about

[strafedz]

I just got a new monitor and wanted a refresher on the recommended standards.. I knew exactly which channel to come to.. thanks!

Just wanted to say that at 2:56 when the light ray directly falls on the Retina blood vessel, it's actually a blind spot for the eye. If the ray falls anywhere else, the brain would detect that perfectly but in this case it does not!

[nindajuka]

Very Helpful, i need to set my top edge monitor straight to the eyes. Because with current set up it makes my eyes feel tired and loose focus after some games.

[nova]

All this confirms is that I don't overthink like ppl say I do. I just think like Rambo ! Get on my wavelength bro.

[akifrehman]
