How High Should Your Monitor Be? Ultimate Ergonomic Guide

The golden rule: when you sit up straight and look forward, your eyes should land at the top third of your screen. This keeps your neck neutral. Looking up strains neck muscles. Looking down causes tech neck.

How to Measure. Sit with feet flat, thighs parallel to floor. Close your eyes and relax. Open them — where you naturally look should be the top third. The screen center should be 15-20 degrees below horizontal.

Monitor Arm vs Stacking. A monitor arm is better: infinite adjustability, frees desk space, cable channels. A good arm costs -80. For laptops, a stand + external keyboard is the best solution.
