Is it as good for your eyes? Aren't TV designed to be looked at from a further distance than arm's length?

Not the GP, but the pixels on my 43" 4k TV are just slightly smaller than those on the 1080p monitors it replaced. I have the TV positioned about an arm's length away. It's farther than the monitors it replaced. And it's far enough away the I don't have to crane my neck side to side. (To that end, I also use a tiling window manager and have ~3 inch gutters on the side.)
I love it and it's just a $200 TCL TV that happens to have good response (thanks rtings.com).
I personally like to use Divvy to chop my screen into sections but mostly I do 2/3 for my IDE (affords me 3 less-than-full-width columns for source) and 1/3 for the browser. I have wanted to have an iPad for displaying docs but haven’t gone there yet.
