I apologize for asking this; I know the information is somewhere on this forum but I couldn't find it.

1. What is the actual size of the PFD and ND screens in the aircraft?
2. When you are sitting in the pilot's seat, how far is it from your eye to the center of the PFD?

Thanks everyone.

They sit in holes in the instrument panel of about 8&1/2" (high) and 8&1/4" wide

I'd estimate about 31", but ask for second opinions. I'm using various cockpit diagrams to come up with this value.
