elevating your monitor - lazydays - 05-28-2010
I want to elevate my monitor to eye level to help with some neck strain I'm having. Using the yellow pages will probably be a quick fix but how about something a little nicer looking? Ideas?

It isn't a lamp imac. Just a standard lcd monitor.

Those crazy boxes that microsoft ships their software in work surprisingly well. Two under each monitor AND All my licenses are close at hand...

Elevate to help with neck strain?
The top of your monitor should be at or below eye level.

Thanks for the info DRR. I would say the top of my monitor is about 1 inch below eye level now so that should be perfect. Will be interesting to see if it reduces neck strain next week when I'm staring at it for several days in a row.

I think it depends on the size of the display. Eyes level with the top of your monitor might be fine for a 13" crt, but I like the top of my 24" to be about an inch above my eye level.

I got this to do exactly what you want.
But they have dozens of different models.

This makes no sense. You're saying it's ideal now and you have neck strain, so it will reduce your neck strain?
Good post from DRR. People get ergonomics bass-ackwards all the time.
