I dunno, a lot of Mac users use those silly smoke-screen devices in front
of those 9 inch monitors as well...

I believe that you will find that what is responsible is not the distance,
but the flourescent lighting.  It tends to beat with the display making what
was a small interlace problem into an intolerable one.  Ever looked at
a SUN monitor from one of it's corners in a flourescently lit room?  Talking
about flicker, SHEESH! :)

The idea, I think, is to get into a position where the lighting reflects
off the monitor's glass.

Therefore your challenge, which is undoubtedly taken up by folks eager to flame
the -MB- beast, may not get the results you expect.
