 Gosh, you make it sound like our eyes weren’t designed to look at an
entire field of view. Do your eyes really have to physically travel from
one side of the screen to the other? I normally leave mine inside my head,
and use the rotation muscles that they come with to orient them in a range
of directions.

Those muscles like all others can tire. Mine tire with normal use and I have
only a 17 inch display. I use a lot of it and hit Ctlrl+ to enlarge the display fonts
and some images.  But then too I am 87 yoa but even younger people's eyes
can tire.  I would go to a larger display and tile windows displays on it then
shifting but I got swindled out of my savings recently and am economizing for
the next year or so.
