Maybe it would be smarter to use one of the these? Samsung 43" M70A 4K UHD Smart Monitor https://www.samsung.com/us/computing/monitors/smart-monitors...

I'm curious about these, but I feel like it's too much vertical space, which would require a lot of head movement.

I liked my Samsung ultra wide until it started to hurt my eyes from the terrible PWM modulation...

The actual "ideal" rotation for maximum line length would be closer to 23° rather than 22°, right? Because Atan(9/21) = 23.20°.

Also... could we go further? If we're treating the screen's content as an arbitrary plane, what about tilting the content of screen away from you like SNES Mode 7 or the Star Wars text crawl? Infinite screen height!

Ever since I found out that many new monitors don't have an RGB subpixel layout, I've been paranoid. I can't find the layout for this one. any idea?
