Uncommon (?) monitor configuration. Never really thought to lay one down like that. Anyone do this and have opinions? I think I enjoy the space underneath for papers and pens too much, also it would be awkward with two screens - though perhaps a vertical stack would work well. I think some laptops come with "keyboard screens" (not touch bar) now.

I imagine it's promoting fairly poor posture. I would end up with a migraine from the neck strain.

  Just like using a laptop.

    I got a stand from Flio to help with that a few years ago [1]. It folds up into a thin laptop-sized rectangle, so it's easy to take with me. Looks like the certificate on their site expired though, so I've no idea whether they're still in business.

  Yes, the posture seems bad to me as well. Maybe I am missing something.

My neck would hurt in a matter of hours. Not recommended.

Well, I've been using laptops since the late 90s, no problems whatsoever looking at a screen close to my keyboard. No strain to my neck or back and of course I'm not so young anymore. I can't imagine having to raise my head and look straight ahead all the time. What for? On the other side, as cyclist I'm used at spending hours with my head raised much more than that to look ahead. At least I rest when working :-)
