That's a great point. It reminds me of the "Library Rules" at the 37 Signals office: https://signalvnoise.com/posts/3357-an-office-with-ldquolibr...

At the same time, I think visual distractions also need to be taken in consideration.

Visual distractions are huge. Huge huge huge. As someone who has trouble concentrating in the first place, tiny visual distractions (even just someone shifting in their seat in the peripheral) are enough to pull me out of flow.

I manage that with three 27-inch monitors, arrayed slightly concave towards me.

I'm jealous that your workplace springs for such luxurious accommodations :)

I could get them for $250 each, so combined they came in cheaper than the standard Apple branded monitor.
