Comment on Monitors for Workparent

Comments

Ultrawide curved are amazing. Put your main activity in the middle since there's no screen bezel and enjoy your neck-pain-free work hours. 2 monitors force you to usually have one on the left, one on the right and always face your head towards either.

Also, it's fine to have side activities on the side, but you usually won't be looking at those all the time, so they shouldn't cause any strain.

Yes, this. At work, I have side-by-side 32" 4K monitors. At home, I have a 59" curved 7680x2160 monitor that is the same size as the two work monitors combined. My home setup is much more ergonomic than work. Beyond your point about angles being bad with two monitors, pretty often I have three things open that are wider than 1920 pixels worth of content. At home, each can be 2560 pixels wide. At work, I can either have bezels in the middle of one or shrink two of them. And the fairly aggressive curve at home means pixels are close to the same angular size.
