Wimbledon is in full swing and judging the game this year, matches are tending to be much longer. A record of an 11 hour match turned into a fanfare between Nicolas Mahut and John Isner. What a match! The players must have been exhausted. Did you watch the entire match? That must have also been exhausting. Following the tennis ball on the screen can be straining for your eyes. Depending where your TV is located  and the lighting conditions you can increase the quality of your viewing experience.

Basically you need a proper TV set up to successfully follow longer tennis matches on TV. This would include a proper TV cabinet and proper distance between your sofa and the TV and you need a proper TV.

1. If you have a low sofa, it would be useful to have a have a tv unit where you can place the TV on. The oak corner Tv unit is usually a nice wood and they are lower which helps the eyes to achieve a 5 degrees downward angle. This angle helps to decrease the strain in your eyes.

2. You need a good TV which anti glare glass. The Samsung 32 tv is great, the screen is fairly wide horizontal viewing angle, which facilitates group viewing and anti glare.

3. The room where you watch TV should be well-lit to avoid any strain or fatigue of the eyes. When you have to use a screen make sure it is at a 90 degree angle from any direct light source. Back lighting is a good idea. That is when you have an extra light source behind your TV.

4. Eye strain is actually the strain of the muscles controlling the eyes. Strengthening these muscles with a series of eye exercises will go a long way to preventing eye strain.

5. Make sure you are watching TV from a distance of five times the width of the TV screen.

Enjoy watching history making tennis matches.
