I recently switched desks at my company and found one with two monitors. The seam was right in front of me. So if you have a task that has you watching a single monitor most of the time, you’re always looking to one side.
I stopped wondering why the colleague who sat there before was complaining of neck pain.
Do you think this screen would cause less neck pain if you were primarily focusing on just one side?
Judging from my work – sourcecode, which has short lines and is read from left to right – I think so. I’d either have to balance the editor in the center or always look at the left edge.
For a dual screen setup, you could just offset the screens. Primary screen straight ahead, secondary on whichever side works best for you. This is how I used to work.
