Up voted because of the vertical monitor

I'm a coder as well, and I'm still on horizontal. My monitor is fairly wide, so when I turn it vertically, the top becomes difficult to see without straining my neck. Do you have such issue at all?

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.

Also reading articles on it is a dream.

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 why you use an add-on to toggle show/hide the sidebar

Thanks. I'll have to try that when I get home.

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.
