I sit with my back to the T.V and let the surround sound guide my movements , that's real immersion.

about 15 feet away... but my tv is 62" so everything is still clearly visible.

btw deteorioration of eyesight has nothing to do with sitting close to the tv... it has to do with you not working your eye muscles because you arent constantly focusing on different objects. So no matter where you sit... you will end up needing glasses.

About 7ft or so and I am pretty sure it has been proven that sitting too close to the tv doesn't affect your vision.

3-4m, but with an SDTV, it is still too hard to read much of the text in games

Your explination makes sense about ending up needing glasses anyway, but how long is it supposed to take? I've been gaming for 27 years. And I'll have to dig it up here, but there was an article on CNN I think it was, about how a study showed that action oriented video games helped eye sight. And the study was particularly on FPS games. I hope I find it here, I'll have to post it for you.
