I sit about 3 or 4 feet from my 3007, but I always sit a fair distance from my monitors. Even at this distance, one has to swivel one's head slightly to traverse the whole gigantic screen. And yes, the resolution is quite high, but I've really been delighted that I've been able to play pretty much all my games on that native resolution anyway (Athlon 4800+, x1900xtx 512). Really the only issue for me with the resolution is that typefaces can look kinda small when browsing or whatnot. But I'm getting used to it. And you can change font sizes in browsers if you want.
