No, but an observation if I may. A few months ago I moved from a couple 
of large (in their day) Multisync LCDs mounted flat, to 4x slightly 
smaller displays on adjustable arms that I can form into a pronounced 
curve both horizontally and vertically. I find the new arrangement 
vastly more comfortable, and elsewhere I see comment from other users 
and programmers "of a certain age" that they're having increasing 
difficulty accommodating screens at varying distances.
