Seriously huge gaming screen

This 2nd gen Odyssey Ark Gaming Screen is a seriously large screen. I like the width of it, but it is seriously tall. It is truly an ergonomic nightmare and would give an Ergonomist nightmares. It's very hard to place this gaming screen in a position that would not cause neck troubles. I'm considering finding a wall to mount this to so that I can mount the bottom of the screen to be lower than my desk so that I don't have to tilt my head up to look at the top of the monitor. That or stand up and and find something tall to rest my keyboard and mouse on top of. Although that would create other issues when trying to game, but would be an effective solution when using this screen for working.
They did upgrade this 2nd gen gaming screen and improved upon some of the critisms from the 1st gen which is a very welcome surprised. Some of the upgrades you'll find is that the One Connect now has 1 DisplayPort connection and 3 HDMI connections instead of just 4 HDMI connections. When you do multi-view, you can now multi-view from the other source inputs instead of just 1 source like the 1st gen gaming screen. Another improvement is that the One Connect now works like a KVM switch, you can use one KB and Mouse to control the active PC. These are all great improvements to this gaming screen and I'm already utilizing all the new features in this 2nd gen gaming screen.
This gaming screen is HEAVY. The screen plus stand is 91.5 lbs... 46 lbs for the screen, the rest is the stand. I use a glass desk and was worried this would shatter my desk so I built a support beam to sit under the glass desk right where the gaming screen rests. This way my support beam is taking all the weight of the gaming screen and not my glass desk. If I mount this on the wall though, then half that weight will be gone, so another reason for me to wall mount it versus leaving it on my desk.
I like that the ark dial AND The remote for this Odyssey Ark are solar rechargable. Now I won't have to always think about plugging it in to charge the remotes up, it will lost longer between manual charging thanks to the solar panels on it.
There are a lot of control options with this gaming screen so it will take some time learning everything and being able to fully utilize the gaming screen to it's full potential. So far though, my favorite feature is the KVM upgrade of the One Connect, only having 1 kb & mouse to control my multiple computers on my desk is a very much desired space saver.
