3 24s too wide an area to stay focused on?
Maybe I was sitting to close by  my neck started to hurt when I needed to look back and forth. The truth is you could have 2 monitors side by side and another one on top.

Just splurged on an electric adjustable desk for my new office. Very happy with it.

What I’m missing is a good dual monitor solution. Right now have an aging iMac with a 2nd screen, don’t remember which, but a) the 2nd screen isn’t great quality and b) the iMac doesn’t physically pair well with another screen.

Thinking of upgrading to the Mac Studio and buying 2 screens, but every screen I see is garbage compared to what I’m used to with the iMac. Also want the screens to be flush. Any recommendations?

The manufacturer is Narbutas and it was semi-custom, got it from an office furniture supplier.

Why not go for a curved ultra wide monitor. Can't get more flush than that.

There is an advantage of having 2 screens, where using full screen for an app/window doesn't take up the entire screen area. Though I should consider this curved option, someone showed me an app that can create virtual screens within one physical screen. I will test that out and go from there.

What would you recommend as a curved ultra wide monitor similar to Mac display quality?

I have the 27inch with a Mac mini that works well. This is an example of someone using it with the studio https://www.reddit.com/r/ultrawidemasterrace/comments/u774dh/the_mac_studio_completes_my_setup_best_of_both/
And osx has auto snap now so resizing full screen programs shouldnt be a problem. The monitor also has the option to split the screen up into 4 virtualized screens.

I have that on an LG Ultrawide, but I don't even bother anymore, the function in windows where you drag a window to one side and it fills half the screen works fine for me.

Couldn't really find much about auto-snap, but I downloaded Magnet and it looks like it may do the trick.

Using a Mac it doesn't have this feature natively, hence the need for an app.

I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

Overkill but you can get Apple XDR displays. There are lots of great screens for less.

Any HM dealer.
Went to one, here's my thoughts.
Without a real trial it's hard to tell what is better for back support. I got the feeling that the embody gives better overall support helping you seat in the right way vs the aeron which has great lumbar support but you have to be seating perfectly (IMHO it doesn't feel much different from a regular chair).

Is there any major difference between the embody for gaming vs the regular one?
According the salesman, the chairs are overall the same, the gaming version being a bit more breathable because of copper in the fibers (and it's cheaper!).

They only had the gaming.
They claim it's cheaper because they only have four configurations and they make them in bulk vs the regular where it's made custom.
