Banana for scale but, also, the desk is 6' long and the little monitor is 43" (and will be re-purposed elsewhere).

A 43” is basically a 2*2 grid of 21.5” 1080p displays without bezels. It’s not particularly wide, two average 22-23” 1080p monitors and it’s taking up much more space horizontally. With a deep enough desk, the added verticality isn’t particularly bad either.
However that… thing (?) is another case entirely
It's a 2x2 grid of 37" 4K monitors, or a 4x4 grid of 18.5" 1080p displays. It would be more productive if the desk were 3-4" further away and the monitor were 4" below the desk instead of 1.5" above it, as the top 10" or so is impractical to use while sitting except as a status area. OTOH, I welded up the custom mount to my lifting desk, so I can stand and raise the desk so that the keyboard is on the actual desk instead of the tray. In that configuration it maximizes my usability of the screen.
