Playing close to my pc monitor - DolphinPC - 08-05-2015

I Just got the Dolphin Bar, it's working really great, there's only one problem (not related to the dolphin bar it self):
I'm sitting pretty close to my monitor, and the dolphin bar is just above my monitor. It's a 19.5' 900p monitor. Unfortunately, sometimes when i move the wiimote, the pointer in the game doesn't move (because the sensor on the wiimote is not pointing at the sensor bar. Is there anything I can do abot it? or just try to do smaller swings? (in games like Metroid prime 3 there's no problem, while in games like red steel 2 and madworld it can be annoying sometimes. not unplayable though, just a little annoying) does somebody else play close to his pc monitor and give me some advice?

Not really anything you can do other than sit farther back, it never was designed to play that close.

Is there any workaround? Or just get a bigger monitor?

If you wanted to put the bar behind the monitor that might work (make sure nothing is blocking it).

I played more, it takes me some time but I'm getting used to it and it's working okay. anyway, thanks for the advice Smile I also tried skyward sword and wii sports (games that I always need to swing the wiimote while playing them, and after 10 minutes they worked great for me, and madworld is also playing fine now.
