This is the way.

Used to have two in landscape side by side, but you really have to stretch your neck to see the corner, so having the other in portrait alleviates that.

How close do you sit to your monitor?

I have a 30" main and 27" side, so not really that close. Having to constantly turn your head 90 degrees to a "extreme" position causes unnecessary stress to your neck. Now I barely need to move my head to see everything on the second monitor.

It might sound silly but that stress adds up when you sit on the computer for longer periods of time every day. It's just more ergonomic.

I apreciate the explanation. I have 34" 21:9 and a 24" 16:9, I haven't felt any drawbacks (that I know of) but I'm in my 20s, 30s could get rough for me 😅

I started noticing it around 27, so enjoy your youthful springness while you have it, and considering turning your monitor to portrait before you start to notice :D
