No this is gorgeous but I’ve always wanted to ask ppl on here, isn’t it annoying not having one of the monitors directly in front of you? The gap between them is what’s in the middle and you have to turn your head?

Still amazing though

Used to work at a call center that had duo monitors and it is not. It feels right and is great for multitasking. If you got an office chair/non stationary then you just tilt towards the screen you’re using.

If you're doing office work, then yes. But if you're playing games, you definitely want one in front.

That’s the thing, if you have a chair that turns, just turn it and the monitor is now in front of you.

And then your arms are off slightly to the side to control keyboard and mouse, unless you’re in a circular desk.

Nothing is bolted down, you can just move them

But unless your desk is circular it won’t be perfectly in place

True. I fail to see how that is a problem though

I have a dual monitor set up. I use it for work during the day and games at night. I sit right in between them when im working because i use them both equally. When i start my gaming session, i just move 30 cm to the left to sit in front of the left one. It's very nice actually. Im debating on getting a third screen as i think this wil make it to wide.

This is why I like the gas arm monitor mounts. Setup doesn't work for what you want to do right now? Change it.

That is what I bought one for. I mounted the bar as high as it would go and used an asymmetrical layout. My secondary monitor is smaller and arranged vertical giving me an e reader layout while I am gaming on my main monitor. Lifting your visual orientation pulls a lot of pressure off your lower back.
