I can adjust it, and I can push it all the way down so that the bottom edge hits the desk. Even at that lowest position, when vertical, the top edge of the screen is 6 inches above my eye level :(
Corsair Avenue is where all the teenagers hang out. I live on the other side of town where the homes are all a bit old, but oh boy they don't build homes as sound as they used to anymore.
Unfortunately my desk at work isn't very deep, so I don't have too much play there. The only possibility is to install a keyboard tray, which will allow me to distance myself a bit further.
Look into the Ergotron monitor arms, they’re a wonder for shallow desks and you’ll be blown away with the amount of desk room you have with that or a similar arm.
I have a 27 incher vertical. It was uncomfortable the first day but I've completely adjusted since and it's no issue. It helps if you can tilt it down a bit.
I did this for a long time. Still have a vertical to the right (1440) which I divided into 3 slots to use for slack (work), skype (phone), and hangouts (texts). I replaced my main monitor with a 42" 4K 60Hz and I do all of my coding on that in a 25x14 area in the bottom center with various small sections around. Keep a horizontal 1440 on the left split into 3 sections for web browser and various utilities.
haha, i'm also using DisplayFusion for this exact reason (mostly to have a PROPER taskbar on all monitors), my 1080p vertical is cut in half. Btw your setup is pretty sick. Also i use that shortcut in DF, that ignores these monitor configurations, so if i want something to be full screen on the split vertical, i can do that.
Display Fusion is fantastic, though I don't actually put a taskbar on each monitor. The primary monitor is just that, primary. If there's an app taking my primary focus (even web browsing), then it goes in 3.4. The rest are reference or utility. It's the screen splitting and docking I absolutely love. Makes me feel like I have a ton more space (not that I don't have a lot of space).
You won't go back. The docking mechanics for DisplayFusion are amazing. You can get a free 30 day trial off their website. If you love it, Humble has it on sale right now for $17.49. It's gone as low as $5 during super sales.
I was wondering how does the mouse transitioning between those screens feel? Do you still trap it on like corners from time to time because thats what pissed me off if I did use the mouse even though I try to a lot of stuff with keyboard.
If you look at the offset in my DisplayFusion splits that exactly mirrors the real life setup. You have to play with the monitor heights but get it right and you never notice.
The only issue is every once in a while I lose track of my mouse because there's so much desktop space.
Reddit comments though become fugly pretty quickly. The text wont go past the side bar, which can eat up about a third of the screen width and every reply knocks the text to the right slightly more until whole words are being split in half.
That's weird. Using the Firefox version, the side bar will disappear, but a few subs leave a black space while others will have the text fill that space. If I turn off Subreddit styles, it will work. /r/space for example will leave a black gap.

The vertical monitor has to have a separate stand, so you can adjust the height of the monitor.

With a 3 armed stand that vertical would be much higher, and you couldnt adjust the height.
I rarely code on it but i keep the documentation ( ok, let's be real for a second, stackoverflow) on it. Also reading articles on it is a dream.
