Really? You can’t set up more than one monitor in your field of view? Or turn your head and track faster than you can jump back and forth between several overlapping windows? That’s also bit like saying you don’t need a monitor bigger than your fovea, because you can only read in your fovea. Eye movement, head movement, and internal tracking a good part of a sphere of awareness around ourselves are what our visual system - physical and mental - were designed to be extremely fast at.

>Really?

Filed of focus != field of view. Yeah, I can see nearly 180 degrees, but I can only comfortably focus for work on what's in the center of my FoV.

  >can also comfortably stare at code via the side of my eyes. This is not what I suggested. I never suggested coding in your peripheral vision, and to suggest it is just trolling. I have long-running tasks in windows open around and I need to know when they update. Peripheral vision works extremely well for this, but having the window submerged under the code I'm working on behind dozens of other windows, I would never see it. then I'm forced to have my code at half the width of a tiny screen so I can see the long-running task progress in another half of a tiny screen? No Thank You. I'll take multiple screens all day long for the complex development work I do. But sure, go ahead and invent whatever you want out of what I said to win a pointless internet argument, I don't care. I just won't be replying anymore.
