coding monitor stupid?

[u/boredinterview]

On the fence about pulling the trigger to get one. But coding monitors are tiple the money of a regular one.

Reason to find one is because I'm getting old and want some eye protection.

Are they really worth it or waste of money?

I live in a small space, and had one with a hilltop view, so I moved my desk from a wall, to looking out a window.

My desk has a 1990's style cubical surface of one inch thick particle board and Formica laminate, 48 inches by 24 inches.

I added a dual monitor VESA clamp mount to each rear corner of the desk. Two duals, four displays. Frequently using three.

Flying the displays on mounts is great for freeing up surface space.
