Been using two monitors for many, many years. Just tried a single wide (curved 34") monitor instead. It's slightly less wide total a bit taller. It's way better. Looing at center of screen instead of to the side, no dead zone in the middle.

This little devil is the cause of MSWord suddenly moving comments outside the margins into outer space where you can't see them. It somehow just started happening against my will a few months ago. Just uncheck 'enable modern comments' under preferences general, and you will regain humanity.
