Monitors are often placed too high, low, or off to the side depending upon the furniture and computer hardware purchases. Monitor Supports can help reduce neck and upper back pain by placing the monitor in front of you at a more appropriate height. Adjustable monitor stands are recommended for shared workstations. The monitor height should be set so that the top of the screen is at or just below eye level. The natural line of sight is about 15 degrees below horizontal. This represents about a five inch drop from an operator's eye height at a distance of 20 inches. Looking up or down too much will strain the eyes and neck muscles. Should a monitor be too high, remove any items under it, such as the computer in the case of PCs (typically a monitor by itself will not exceed a user's eye height). The table may be lowered if the height adjustment is separate from the keyboard, however, proper keyboard positioning must not be compromised by adjusting the table height for the computer screen. Where the screen height is too low, the table may be raised if separate adjustments can be made from the keyboard. Quick fixes such as placing telephone books or unopened reams of paper can raise the monitor to an acceptable height. Various fixed height and adjustable height monitor stands and arms are available from multiple sources.
