I had sever neck and upper back pain for years. My solution? I used cardboard boxes and old books I found laying around at the office so that my laptop's screen is at eye level (around 20 cm up, which made me realize how bad my posture was).
Coworkers were laughing at me but I didn't care; just few days later and the pain all but disappeared. I couldn't be happier.

The nice thing about an arm is it’s easy to adjust when switching between sitting and standing. But I agree I can’t believe how far I had to scroll town to see someone mention monitor height.
- ahmedfromtunis 6y agoI wish I could; but here (not USA) such equipment are hard to find and, when available they're generally way too expensive -- just link standing desks and even good, decent office chairs. Until this is no longer the case, my poor-man's platform will live on :,D
- toast0 6y agoReams of paper are also good for raising monitors or laptops, and easily found in an office. Of course, if you use the screen and the keyboard of your laptop, you have to balance height of the screen (eye level should be about the middle of the screen) vs height of the keyboard (arms should be about level)
