How far away from it do you sit? I don't get neck pain, but I do have to move my head even on a 32", thinking of switching back to a 27" for that reason (plus better pixel density.)

My eyes are 30" to 36" away from the monitor. The original reason for getting a big monitor was the idea that looking at something that far relaxes the ciliary muscles in the eye. I don't have to turn my neck at this distance and I don't get any headaches even if I stare at it for 10+ hours/day though my original point still stands which is I end up using only the center of the monitor.
