In my own personal experience, the problem comes from the age old "don't sit too close to the TV or you'll go blind!" warning that your parents always used to tell you. The simple fact that the computer monitor is only a couple of feet away from you puts more strain on your eye muscles than if it were a more reasonable (TV viewing) distance of about 6-10 feet. So, if your problem is that your eyes (and, in particular, your eye MUSCLES) are getting tired, then there's not much you can do about it except not spend as much time at your computer (or, at the very least, take FREQUENT breaks). If the problem is that you are squinting or having trouble seeing what's on the monitor, then you should get as big a monitor as possible, preferably a flat-panel plasma, and pick a resolution that is comfortable for you. But, to answer your question in a sideways monitor, it's not really the monitor that is causing the problem. It's your "long time use" that you refer to. jm
