I got myself a VESA arm for my two 24" flat screen displays I (used) to have at
my desk. The cost was something like 50 euros and I got the displays mounted in like 30 minutes. There are several upsides to having a display arm like this
- you save desk space like crazy and from a ergonomical standpoint you get the
displays at a proper height. And it looks freaking awesome too.

Highly recommended.

When I didn't work from home, we had these on our desks, it was easy to
adjust. Now I've got one of those ultrawide at home. The funny thing is,
there never seems to be enough screen real estate, I'm always wanting more. Maybe it was easier to separate windows between two monitors.

Sounds good!
I had one of those Standing Desks at my previous (IT) job .. so I purchased a cheaper on for home .. it is "cheaper" in that it doesn't raise up as easy as the expensive one we had at work :)

I'd love to have one of those desks that raise, but I'd have to play the lottery for that :)

I think IKEA sells them quite cheaply. You should check that out.

I wear progressive lenses, and in order to look at a arm-mounted monitor I need to hold my head up to look through the bottom of the lenses. Looks a little weird, feels odd.

I prefer using a laptop because I can keep my head relatively steady and
look through the bottom portion of the lens at the screen.

I should get single-vision lenses just for the computer, and mount my
monitors on arms as you suggested. Might make for a more comfortable 2020.

Get enough curved monitors to make a 360 degree arc, and use a standing desk you crawl underneath to get inside of?

My son just got a 32 inch curved monitor for Christmas, and he's wondering
how to configure his 21 inch panel as a second monitor. For games. ???

Like you I also wear progressive lenses, my monitors are considered low I
guess to others so I am not having to always loop up to get the lower lenses power. Though there are times I am looking upward to focus on the top edge of the screen. Guess its just a matter of do you like to look up most the time
or down most the time? LOL

I hear ya though.. Plus everyones vision varies in degree so you gotta do
what works for you, my monitors low with a pinch larger text is my choice. ;)

Working with a laptop only will almost certainly cause you pain and/or problems
with your neck and shoulders at some point if not already.

Most games doesn't support multi monitor action. You could in theory run the game in window mode and then strech the window across both monitors but that only really works when you have to identical monitors with identical resolution
and size. He should stick with his 32" and be happy with that.

Having a crank instead of a motor with buttons is actually not a bad idea at all since the motor almost always break sooner or later.

Most of the 3d games you can get it work, but its dependant on the video �drivers. You need to be able to tell it to work across multi-monitots.. I �haven't tried for a long time, so the details are a bit hazy, and at the time �I could only manage 2, didn't have anything to support a 3rd display.... But �it just cranked the resolution up to the width of all the monitots added �together, and then popped it up across the lot. You could have full screen �running across all 2 or 3, not just stretched windows.
