    That is a cool monitor! I suddenly want two of those next to each other

    It is definitely a brilliant idea, and having two would be awesome.. Imagine having four monitors in the same amount of space that two would normally take up..

    I think that the amount of light coming off of that would start to bake you lol, but it would be fun.

    Presumably when one fails the whole unit has to be replaced, so possibly more expensive in the long run - plus not so good for the neck, I suspect, as a side-by-side arrangement.

    The Dua Lipa monitor

    When it was first announced, if you were to google it, you would get "did you mean: Dua Lipa?" from google laugh

    they seem to have corrected that now, but the nickname might stick. Have seen it referenced in at least 2 other places

    That's literally a 42" 4K tv cut in half vertically! cheeky

    Or search 'rotatable monitor' and find monitors that can rotate between landscape and portrait and have hundreds to choose from.

    As I recall performance does suffer when rotated, or at least did tend to in the past.

    I find vertical videos bad enough, that is horrifying

    Continually moving your head up and down would be worse than  the trouble I had having two monitors side by side. In the end I had to buy an extra wide monitor, that way the thing I'm working on is in the middle with other stuff on the periphery.

    Definitely. Stretching your neck up repeatedly to look at the top section would be much worse than glancing from side to side.

    Appropriate monitor positioning has been documented for quite a while by multiple sources, e.g. the Canadian Centre For Occupational Health and Safety. An illustration of the basics from the CCOHS:

    The whole idea is to position the head and neck as close as possible to it's natural neutral state rather than forcing it into an unnautral position.

    Yes, this means that folks who stick a desktop PC underneath their monitor, or worse yet, buy a monitor stand, they're doing it wrong and it will become a literal pain in the neck over time.
