I've only ever used a 15" CRT monitor until my brother gave me his old 17", but playing Call of Cthulu gave me such bad motion sickness that I had to put the 17" in the closet.
I've read around for a lot of remedies, e.g. ginger, motion sickness tablets, short gaming sessions that gradually get longer, sit the monitor further away, go to the optometrist, etc. But I never tried any of these at the time of getting the 17" monitor.
I'm getting a new rig soon, and tossing up between a 20" and a 22", and a big concern for me is whether I'm going to get motion sickness when playing FPS on them. I don't want to settle for a monitor smaller than 20" since web browsing, RTS and RPG don't give me any sickness, so my question is, is a 22" slightly over the top in size? Has anyone had any experiences with motion sickness and noticed any difference between 20" - 22"?
Any advice, however vague, would be appreciated.
