Swapped my 34\" ultra-wide for two 24\" monitors and my neck finally stopped hurting

After 8 months of craning my head back and forth in the center of a curved screen for a 9-5 data job, I moved the second panel to a 15 degree angle and now I glance instead of twist. The old setup made me hunch over my desk in Austin until my shoulders locked up, so I went back to a dual 1080p stack with the main one dead center. Has anyone else found that narrower monitors beat the ultra-wide hype for actual daily desk work, or am I just getting old?

Swapped my 27" for two 24s last year and my chiropractor called it a "miracle cure" for my desk hunch. The ultra-wide looks cool but you're basically playing a game of human bobblehead all day. Now I keep the second screen at a sharp angle for reference docs and the main one straight ahead. Turns out my neck prefers glancing over twisting, who knew.
