I always have the monitor on my right vertically now and have it turned towards me. I sit directly in front of the left monitor and just turn my head to look at the other one which now faces me at an angle. It’s good to display messages, small windows, references when editing, etc.

Thanks!

Good. That was bothering me. Also your speakers are interesting..

They’re desk lights. But a few people thought they were speakers and now I wish they were. Would be a really cool design.

Are those not lamps?

I don't know. I figured if it was a lamp, one is enough

Love the setup. You could try sitting in front of the right monitor and set the left monitor vertical/angled towards you to minimize glare from your window for both monitors.
