Straight Desks — Expert Answer
Can a standard straight desk accommodate two monitors comfortably?
A dual-monitor straight desk setup works well on a 60-inch-wide desk or larger. Two 24-inch monitors side by side require about 40 inches of horizontal space at the stand level, leaving some working area on each side of the setup. For larger monitors (27 inches or wider), a 66- or 72-inch desk is more comfortable. A monitor arm (single or dual arm) mounted to the desk edge opens up significant desk surface underneath the screens and lets you position each monitor at exactly the right height and angle. Depth matters too — most monitors need 24–30 inches of distance from your eyes, which standard 24-inch-deep desks provide.
