This monitor height (and size) looks incredibly painful. The desk top material is just an incorrect choice. I don’t understand how they live with the felt pad.

- kitsunesoba 4y agoMonitor height looks about right to me, depending on where the poster’s eyes are relative to the monitor. My setup has monitors on arms at a similar height, lining up their horizontal centers with my eyeline so my head position and back are neutral.
- akho 4y agoTypical ergonomic guidelines are to place monitors so that your eyes are 2-3 inches below the top of the screen (looking down is much easier than looking up). The monitor in the photo is a 40”. Either they’re a giant, or their knees are well above desk level, or they have neck pain issues.
- laserlight 4y agoI find the typical monitor height guideline very uncomfortable. As a developer, I usually look at the bottom edge of the screen (terminal windows, replying to online discussion). Therefore, I place my monitor higher than recommended.
- theshrike79 4y agoYea, I don't understand how people use monitors where the lower edge is on level with their eye line. My neck hurts just looking at the pictures. But I did start in the time when we had dedicated holes for CRT monitors in desks so you could put them low enough.
