    Yeah most people have desks too high and probably monitors too low. I think that’s one of the reasons standing desks are mostly pretty thin, so you can get them low enough

    I also always put my monitors on arms to get them high enough, and being tall, I have to buy specific arms to do so

    I like to look straight at my monitor.

    I also have it on an arm: swung out in front of me, almost over my legs, feet up on the desk. So I am not one to speak with authority on any sort of posture! Except mine, I suppose.

    Seriously, though, my Ergotron arm assembly (with an extra segment) is possibly the best computer upgrade I ever made.

    Standing desk + monitor arm is pretty nice to have

    On the topic of monitors: mine's got a good range of height adjustment and is on a platform so it's easy for me to hit the "top of screen is level with eye w screen angled upwards" target, but while that works for general use and typing a lot, I find I prefer to raise the monitor a bit higher and keep it close to 90° for games. More immersive

    For home I have a standing desk with two dual monitor arms, with screens in the middle and vesa mounted ART RM5 speakers on the sides

    Most people's toilets are also too high for them. Serious.

    I look at the centre of the screen. Seems to work for me for both reading and graphics photo work.

    I just wish there was a *half-a-page down* key. (I use Pale Moon, a fork of an earlier Firefox before it became ugly, in case anyone has suggestions)

    I do not have a monitor in the toilet.

    Monitor height is not the main issue for me as I can always add more books. Rather the keyboard on the desk is too high and it’s causing some carpal tunnel type issues. From what I read ideally your arms should be floating with wrists off the surface. Sort of like playing piano
