I know why companies like to put big impressive screens mounted to the wall or ceilings, its for show, makes the room look kinda like mission control at nasa or something. But heres the difference. The big screens up top are for information that is not really something you need to stare at constantly. You can glance up, get what you need and put your head down and continue work. Please do your employees a favor and put their respective important screens they will be spending most of their time looking at, down at sitting eye level. It greatly reduces neck strain and headaches.
A high back chair is worth its weight in gold, these crappy rolling chairs with about a square foot of back support just do not cut it. After 8 hours of my back being halfway supported, I will hate that chair, and go find a better one. This usually leads to other unhappy co-workers asking "where did you get that from?" and eventually we will find your comfy chair, and during the graveyard shift, yours might go missing. Save yourself the trouble, just go ahead and get the chairs that fully support back and shoulders. Its worth the extra money. (get a few extra too, they tend to break)
Carpet is great for making a room a bit quieter
Matte screens reduce glare and eye strain a bit
The white buzzing fluorescent lights overhead suck, but you can hide them a bit behind light diffusers, or make the light bounce off other surfaces, and it makes a big difference.
YMMV, and good luck!
