It's damn annoying in fact - I start the day in a good ergonomic position and slowly my elbows rise while I'm typing, taking my shoulders with them, and I get stiff and painful. Have to follow up the company I bought it from and see what is happening...

I would recommend you a nice comfy chair to sit on with part for your head. That will relieve your neck pain. The line of view(of the monitors) should be at the same level as you normally watch something, not lower or higher.

In terms of ergonomics there is one basic rule: you should have your eyes on the level of upper border of the screen when looking straight forward.
This helps, I've tried this.

Sit higher, and further away, so your inclination (well actually declination I guess) is downward and small, maybe 0 to -15°. Alternatively, get a comfy chair with a headrest so you can look up to the top of the screen with your head supported so your neck doesn't have to strain.

I have two monitors - one directly in front of me and one to the left - both in landscape mode.
The biggest change I have made to my work habits at the screen is to switch mouse hands every month or so - this stops me from developing a lean in one particular direction.
Also I don't touch type - I have noticed that people who touch type have a tendency to have more cases of RSI than those who don't(purely anecdotal 'evidence'), I checked this opinion out with a massager who first whipped me then agreed with this observation.

PS: I've told my wife about that and immediately she asked me about who would make me that massage on my neck... I'm almost sure she was joking, but...

Great to hear that.

When you get used to having two monitors you will never want to go back to one.
Glad things worked out well for you.
Once you lose your pride the rest is easy.
I would agree with you but then we both would be wrong.

Moving them to be more centered. And exercise. Your body needs TLC to stay young.

And about that thing you speak about, yes, I regularly walk and run with my wife... probably not enough, but some...

Hope that helps!

Awesome! Landscape is great. I found it difficult at first to get used to the lesser vertical pixels, and I was particularly annoyed at how hard it is to find monitors that have more vertical pixels than HD spec (for the appropriate ratio given the horizontal pixels -- does that make sense?) They're hard to find!

Close your eyes. Sit up. Be very still.
Your neck and head will naturally adjust to the most comfortable position. Then open your eyes and adjust your monitors so you can see them clearly in this position. It will make a big difference.
Since you already made them horizontal, you may have effectively fixed the problem already.
