Answer 2

yup.

dont do it.

Answer 3

That story comes from the early days of television when it was believed by many that dangerous rays were emitted by them.

If television could damage your eyes, there would be big warnings on them.

So, no...it's not true. It's just another one of those myths that won't die.

Answer 4

I believe this is true.

Answer 5

It is true.

I have no way 2 back it up, but if u try, it hurts.

Answer 6

No, this is not true.

It would be a bit ironic for your eyes to get damaged doing what they're supposed to do (see stuff) short of looking at the sun.

Your eyes will simply get tired from looking at a screen for a long period of time. It will not cause permanant damage. Sitting too close will only accelerate the time they take to get tired.
