What's the best set up for using a MBP 16 as the main screen for zooms plus dual screens, to avoid the MBP 16 from blocking out the external monitors and avoiding neck strain). Btw you know you and MKBHD have the same voice??!
Very good content! Congratulations for the channel! In your opinion, not considering personal preference but only ergonomics, what is the best size for a dual monitor setup focused on work? 2 x 24 in? 2 x 27 in? 1x24 in+1x27 in? Thanks a lot
Do you think an IPS and an oled could work in a dual monitor setup? I'm considering buying an oled monitor for gaming and movies that I want to have as a second monitor with my existing IPS monitor.
What do I do if I have 2 main monitors and my usage of them changing during the day? Like the first half of the day, I'm looking at one monitor and the second is working as my second one. And second half of the day I switch those monitors' priority. (1 monitor is ultrawide 4K for my first job, and second one is 16:9 5K with pro colors for my second job)
I'd probably have to see them, but my guess is to move them when you switch jobs to have the main monitor directly in front of you. That may not be easy but you want that main monitor in front of you for the most part of your day.
i don't know if other people do the same or not my rule of thumb for space form monitor is 1 to1.25 for monitor size (for horizontal) like 24" i will place screen away for 24"-30" away that my sweet spot and can see whole screen without move my head.
It seems to me that setting up for your 30 degrees of horizontal to cover only half of each screen would be exactly what you want to avoid. Did I miss something?
I use 2 monitors for pleasure (retired) one (L) for watching (listening) to docos, videos, movies and the other (R)for social stuff and playng games like mahjong etc They are angled inward, so sit slightly toward the left hand one with keyboard in front of it.
Can you talk about keyboard set up. I have two awful Phillips monitors given my employer, will be my third week working remote and I feel awful.. I’m working for a clinical call center. Always my third chair and yesterday got an adjustable standing desk but got a tall chair which is sliding a lot on my hardwood floor which is scary… my arms are 90 degree angle but I think my monitors are low! 😭
Check out my other ergonomic videos on desk setup. Keep your legs and elbows at 90 degrees with you feet resting flat on the floor. Wrists should be straight and eye at top bar of monitor.

Thanks!
I have a dominant monitor, however, I use the second one every minute. I need them bothmost of the time so I went for a centered two screen even though ergonomically is not the best...

Great videos and recommendations. You're a great instructor. I'm also an OT and work in the home health setting.
I love the way you broke up the video into topics!
Thanks! Glad you like it
Single monitor is definitely the best option to avoid neck pain. Great video!
Totally agree! Thanks!

Get a stand for your MBP and make sure the top bar is at eye level. It would be better to have the laptop in clamshell mode.
Wow, thank you for this video! I changed the positioning right away!
Glad it helped!

What about a stacked setup?
It’s a challenge but usually 2x 24 inches. But everyone has their own personal preference

It can work but if the screen is larger than 32 inches it can be problematic
I intend to have both screens at 27 inches
That sounds good

what about 57 inch super ultrawide?
Yeah, my 57 is killing my neck. I think it’s more of an up down issue, not a looking sideways.

what about samsung 49 inch super ultrawide?
The bigger the screen the more neck strain unless you’re sitting further away. So sit far away or get a smaller monitor.

Great advice and very thorough - thank you
Glad it was helpful!
I agree i can only have my monitor straight infront of me and the other to right side ..but turning my head and rapid eye movement is causing vertigo
Great video 👍👍
Hello OT Focus! I appreciate your content. Can you do a video on Fieldwork 2 advice and tips?
Anything in particular that would help?

I think that’s fine. If you use it every minute you should have the equally positioned to reduce neck motion.
Every 20 Hours look away for 20 milliseconds at something 20 meters far 👌🏻
what if i have a 27 inch with a 21.5 inch monitor? :D
Just keep them the same height at eye level.
great video very helpful
Glad you think so!
thank you
Thanks so much 🙏
You’re welcome 😊
thanks
Welcome
We are in a time where people just don’t want to hear a bunch of talking. 😢 Times are changing. Unless it’s a PODCAST. Omgosh
Thanks for the feedback. Working on it!
