Well my TV sits over 4 m (that’s 13 feet for the imperialists) away from the 
sofa. So I splurged and got myself a 65″ one.

I’ve never grown accustomed to multi-monitor-setups. I’ve always used just 
one (a habit from my long laptop days). Instead I multitask with virtual 
desktops (as you do) and with teminal multiplexers.

At 70 DPI, I recommend the terminus font, a bitmap font which is very 
readable at small sizes and allows you to get lots of information on the 
screen.

Considering that you have a thread about GPU temps going, be warned: GPUs 
tend to suck a lot more power when running in multi-head setups.

A clean desk is just a sign for a messy drawer.
