I only thought interest in my second monitor being placed to my dominant eye is at which is my left eye and I have it on my right side of my desk and the reason why is because I won't be able to turn my head as much I might try this but is it worth it putting my second monitor to where my dominant eye is at

I’m helping my dad adjust and dial in his desk/monitor and this is my go to reference video to help out setting up desks. Some things that I love and didn’t really notice before that you do with transitions: the x spinning on/off from the middle of the screen & the transition between your hand “window” with the video playing. Minor things that are just awesome little touches that make for an overall more enjoyable viewing.
The graphic you made for monitor height was amazing! Will definitely be coming back to this video once I find a strong enough monitor mount to hold my ultrawide.
bro this video was really helpful for me to set my monitor correctly. I always had problems with my neck because of the positioning of my monitor. now the gray picture that u showed in the video fixed it for me. good job on this one. keep it up man :)
Yeah I agree on the grey picture with the dot and line. Unique and not seen on other videos, but helped me very much when searching for monitor height videos. Realised my monitor was far too low after seeing that. Thanks so much Fracno! Earned a sub
I have been dealing with right shoulder pin as a gamer for years and yeah I finally decided to chop it down the left side of my desk to lower the table to elbow height. Thank you so much for the help. On the strange side I decided to use my left hand/arm for my mouse to put less strain on my right shoulder. Lastly I just put a fuck load of books bellow my monitor so I don't have to break my neck every time I look at the middle of the screen.
Whoa, I didn't even know about the dominant eye thing. I've always liked my 2nd monitor on my right but never really knew why I preferred that, turns out I'm right eye dominant. Good tip!
tbh, I'm not a gamer at all. I just got transferred to be work from home for the foreseeable future and wanted to check out some home-office set up recommendations. Your video has been by far one of the most helpful. Thanks for all the effort you put into these!
Really good video. I already knew about distance placement, but I didn't know about the dominant eye thing. As you said though I already had my second monitor on the right because that always felt more comfortable. You have a new subscriber.
The dominant eye thing seems so obvious and I have been completely ignoring it. I'm blind in my left eye but where have I put my 2nd monitor? You guessed it! On my left side 🤪time to make some changes
I'm about to change my chair and desk, so i'd thought I'd go down this rabbit hole again just for fun.^ Ergonomics is key - I work as a cashier starting at a screen moving my wrist, and if you want to last doing your hobby it has to be looked after. The most important part is your wrist. Eyes are adaptable - since you move your body around and leaning back. However your wrist and shoulders need to be relaxed - carpal tunnel and repetion-strain is real and needs to be fixed if you want to have a good life. Knees - 90* angle when you're sitting down. Elbown - 90* angle when you're typing. Thats the base line to save your body.
Thank you so much for your videos, incl. the carpel tunnel videos. I have recently begun to get strain on my left wrist. I use an orbweaver gaming keypad and I've realised I had it way too close to my body, resting my wrist on the edge of the desk pretty much. I've now pushed everything forward so most of my forearm is resting on the desk (keypad, keyboard and mouse) and everything feels a lot less strained. It actually feels like pressure has been lifted (which i guess it actually has as im not compressing my carpel tunnel).
thank you man! This is good stuff. i appreciate a lot that you're telling us the "correct" way to do it.. but also saying that it's ok if you don't do it to the book. Gives me me confidence over my setup!
I was very happy and surprised to realise that my desk, chair and my height are all great. My Legs are on a 90 Degree angle touching the ground and I naturally sit an arms distance from my monitor, I haven't However got a Arm for my monitor, so its lower than I'd like. My Keyboard also Happen to have an arm rest built as part of the keyboard so my arms are always straight. My Set Up will change a lot so that I can do almost all of these things Correctly, Very helpful video :D
Great advice! I mainly console game but have a gaming PC that I want to start using more. This was a great video and look forward to seeing what I like.
I hate my second monitor on my dominant eye side for the longest time. I moved it to the other side though because it looked better. But it definitely makes a difference. Before I'd just glance over to it with my eyes, now I turn my whole head.
Wow that dominant eye thing was neat. I'm right handed and when I moved it in I thought I brought it dead center, but then realized it was over my left eye. Interesting. I have a triple monitor setup, but this probably explains why my third monitor on the right rarely gets used!
Woah, those are hella expensive. I also think they’re kind of ugly on first impression. But I’d totally be down to try them and review one if they’d send one out. I’ll reach out to them!
Hi bro! Thank you for this video! I had chronically since 8 years and I work everyday on my wrong workstation. I m 181cm but I can t be comfortable in any situation. What height desk do you suggest? And how space between chair and top desk? Thank you so much for kindly reply !
I used to have a crap chair, I did switch to a Secret Labs during this summer. This changed my life. My back thanked me a lot. I'm still doing a lot of things wrong though, and I sincerely thank you for all the work you did regarding ergonomics and posture, it's not only informative but was a pleasure to watch as well!
Yea gaming chairs are cool but honestly a good office chair thats made of like breathable material is def the way to go I have a gaming chair and it hurts now tbh
me sitting in an awful cheap amazon gaming chair where the lumbar support "pillow" is so large that my entire back is in the air and not supported at all only the small curve in my back is touching the pillow cause thats how far away it pushes me away from the chair lmao...... Also my eye line is way off because I am too short if I have my chair high enough for eye level then my feet are dangling off the floor but also my arms arent in a straight position other cause im sitting so low compared to my desk........ LOL fml Ok I am gonna buy a new chair and a foot rest. Also that eye dominant thing was a fantastic learning experience! Im right handed but left eye dominate! It was trippy to see the item faze through my hands twice when trying to force it to my right eye! Love this guy, subs from me!
Honestly I will never find gaming on a chair comfortable. Laying down or seated on a couch will forever be the best way to game. Sitting at a deck is extremely uncomfortable regardless of how much support a chair can give you. You’re always going to get back problems later on if you’re a desk gamer
There's another possible solution. You mod your chair to have a board where you can use both mouse and keyboard, this way a good posture is ensured. Only need to adjust the monitor position.
I rarely use a second monitor because I am bothered when it's in my peripheral even when off since it contrasts with the wall. That said when I do hook one up I always put it on my left side, just felt comfortable. Didn't know I was left eye dominant, I just did things haha
I think the only things I do a bit wrong are placing my chair in a slightly squat position and placing my keyboard with the palmrest right at the edge of the desk. My monitors are positioned as far away as possible and just above my eyeline, so the whole setup is geared toward sitting slightly back, rather than upright or forward. Oh, thanks for showing me that the Wooting rest exists, by the way. Really helps with using my 'mechanical' keyboards
5:55 instead of moving your hands closer, you can close one eye at a time, and the dominant eye will still see the object, while the other eye will not 😉🤨
Most of the things I did naturally already. The only thing where my preference differs a bit is the height of the monitor. I have the monitor ~5-10 cm lower than you suggested.
Get a really large mousepad that can cover your entire desk. Bought a glorious 3xxl mousepad coz i have the same problem with you as i like my forearms on the desk and me tucked in on the table lol 😂
I recently put my monitors on arms and noticed I put them at a higher point then when they were on stands. I also got a new secret labs chair and found I tend to put it the back rest really far back witch I probably shouldn't do after watching this 🤣 thanks for the advice as always
You may not need to worry about how your chair is reclined as much as you might think! If you haven’t already, check out my posture video: th-cam.com/video/oFza7La1NEo/w-d-xo.html
I've run this setup for a year, and there is an issue with this advice. The primary + secondary monitor advice, I did this for a year and now have a lot of pain with my neck. I've run it by 2 physios and a chiropractor after I had significant pain in the left side of my neck from heavy computer use (with hourly breaks etc). It was quite apparent that having to crane my neck to the "secondary monitor" has caused a lot of pain and tightness, and instead opting for both of the monitors to be even and not have to crane to look over to the secondary monitor has basically resolved this pain. So maybe it might work for other people? But just anecdotally, I found this advice ended up with a lot of pain and problems exclusively in the side of the neck that the secondary monitor was.
I've been naturally trying to make my monitor higher before because I didn't feel like looking down so much is correct, but, when I realized how many books it'd take without monitor arm, I gave up XD Big thanks to your video, I've tried it again and it did take a lot of books lol I'm 15 and so I need to add more books over months because I still grow in height and do so fastly xD
That tip for the shoulders to stay on the top of the table, are the best. I was really struggling with this, if i should keep on the chair supports, or table. Thanks

Hello Franco, great video and thanks for sharing. Really came in during a handy time. I'm having a question to you and maybe to everyone else who might read this comment. I recently switched from using arm rests to testing more than half of my forearm on the desk, it feels more comfortable and stable performance wise to play this way. However I noticed that without the arm rests there is much more pressure below the palm of my hand, in fact the pressure transfers to the Pisiform bone of the hand, using the arm rests I get less pressure there but it prevents me to get close to the desk and I kinda have to reach forward all the time. If anyone experience the same problem with pressure on that pisiform bone, feel free to share. Maybe anyone has a solution to this? Thanks again for the video, quality content :)
I honestly think that's a given with KBAM gaming. I get it too sometimes but I have a low profile keyboard and a spongy mat to rest my hand on. If it starts to hurt I'll just pick my hand up for a while. Try putting some soft padding under your hand that should help.
Just wanted to say that the biggest difference that affected me was the monitor height. It was low for years and it felt that I was feeling uptight or tense all the time.
Great vid. I see how far apart your monitors are and it looks like you have two seperate monitor arms. Is that correct? Using a dual monitor arm would never give you that much space between two 27" monitors
I have separate arms for each monitor. I don't mind the gap. and I have it because I have my camera sitting in the space to the left, and my mic in the space to the right. This is an old video, but I have a more recent video showing my desk set up. Because I stream, I have some equipment that needs to fit somewhere.
i just had my monitor on my right because it seems better than the left, i dont know why i felt like this but its always been like that even before i had my pc. i had an xbox and a crappier pc (an old hp pc) and the monitor used for that would be on the right, i had it on the left for about one month back in like 2016-2018 and i didnt like it.
man! I thought this was one of those cringe youtube videos that I skipped on clicking on it several times before I finally decided to see if my impression was right. I am so sorry I judged it without first viewing the content, This video was done very professionally and I admit I learned some tips. big thumbs up!
For years I could t figure out why I would naturally over time adjust my monitor to be slightly crooked , it’s cuz my dominant eye makes it feel centered but when you step back and look it’s completely off .😂😂
That's a common suggestion, but I believe it brings the monitor too low. The suggestion I make in this video feels better for me, and was something I learned from a Physical Therapist I worked with whom I respect greatly. I would say, try both and see how they feel and figure out which one keeps your neck closest to neutral.
@@FracnoTV I also tried this for a while and I feel when the screen is too high I get neck pain as well as when it is too low. Going for the top part on eye level works best for me atm.
Can you do a review on your standing desk? I've been wanting to get one but there are so many to choose from in such a large price range I'm not sure which are good and/or how much I should be spending to get a good one.
What are you doing right, and what are you doing wrong? What's the first thing you're gonna change?
what desk do you use?

I personally prefer the monitor to be low enough for the top of the monitor to be at eye level. Eyes slightly low while gaming
For years I could t figure out why I would naturally over time adjust my monitor to be slightly crooked , it’s cuz my dominant eye makes it feel centered but when you step back and look it’s completely off .😂😂
5:06 I watched a video saying to have the top of the monitor at eye level, not the center of the screen. I always thought it was the center. Thoughts?
That's a common suggestion, but I believe it brings the monitor too low. The suggestion I make in this video feels better for me, and was something I learned from a Physical Therapist I worked with whom I respect greatly. I would say, try both and see how they feel and figure out which one keeps your neck closest to neutral.
@@FracnoTV I also tried this for a while and I feel when the screen is too high I get neck pain as well as when it is too low. Going for the top part on eye level works best for me atm.
Where do you place your hands when you play on a controller?
Just the video I was looking for! I was doing things so wrong lmao
So I should stand my whole arm in the desk and not the armrest ?
Can you do a review on your standing desk? I've been wanting to get one but there are so many to choose from in such a large price range I'm not sure which are good and/or how much I should be spending to get a good one.
