So we have an align tool to get the ship out of the middle of 2 screens side by side but no tool to fix 2 stacked monitors! This isn't rocket science. Can you guys please right something to fix this it shouldn't be 2 hard I don't wanna unstack my monitors.

On a side note my other account is still forum glitched I enter username and password and hit enter and it just relodes the page.

Honestly, I've never seen anyone aside from medical professionals use stacked displays on a regular basis. That just seems a really uncomfortable way to play. I predict neck strain in your future. I'm not trying to say you're doing it wrong, I'm just saying that it seems...odd.

The reason we have widescreen monitors is our natural vision is much wider than it is tall. The reason *most* people use side-by-side monitors is that our peripheral vision has a much wider angle on the horizontal. You can see more of your display on a horizontal setup than vertical. That's why CCP probably never thought to add a vertical camera adjustment: what you're doing is so uncommon that (being an IT guy) haven't seen that sort of setup ANYWHERE but in application-specific workstations where the top monitor was used either for medical imaging or some sort of monitoring.

Well what i'm trying to do is have a separate monitor laying flat for the ship interface because I want to be able to access these easily while playing 10+ feet way from my main 40" monitor going to have the smaller 20" set up underneath the other display to make it feel right while playing. yes I know i could always have it set up to the side but I keep trying to move the mouse down to get to it.

So to be more clear 40" display 10 feet + 20" laying flat or slightly tilted on the table in front of me.

I know there are people out there with like +10 20" monitors playing eve Ive seen the photos of them.
