Have at least two screens. Have more lights. Have a good ergonomic gaming-like mouse.
Screens should be 2+, not 1(unless it’s huge and ultra-wide, hence more expensive). Mouse should be with high DPI and 7+ buttons programmed as shortcuts (specially if you have two BIG screens). Lights should include a workstation-specific lighting with individual control. Screen brightness ought to be a function of indoor lightning’s brightness, which should be high, and a function of outdoor brightness and time of day (independently). You are likely to have less lighting than optimal, most work environments do. My therapist said I must not talk about monitors heights anymore.
Don’t know much about the what’s the proper angle between screens, willing to hear an informed opinion. I recklessly use 20 degrees.
Spend money on ergonomics is not correctly phrased, most people haven’t a clue about how ergonomics ought to be. Spend time(researching) on ergonomics it’s a better slogan.
