My problem isn't really with the changes - there is nothing they can do if they can't source the previous panel, and I am sure they chose the best one available. My issue is with how the changes were presented - instead of 'we are sorry, we made a mistake, and here is how we are fixing it' it was 'we are happy to announce..'

The reason a larger screen distance is worse is that the torque on your head is the product of weight, distance, and gravity, so an increase in the distance will cause your neck to tire faster.

Put an equal torque on the back of your head, then distance doesn't matter so much (aside from overcoming inertia when moving your head).
