Monitor height and neck pain: the quick fix

If your neck aches by the afternoon, the screen is the first thing to check. A display that sits too low pulls your head forward for hours — and your neck pays for it.

Where the screen should sit

Looking straight ahead, your eyes should meet the top third of the screen, about an arm's length away.

FAQ

My screen is at eye level but my neck still hurts — why?

Check distance (about an arm's length), that you're not tilting the screen back, and increase the font size instead of leaning in.

Is a monitor arm better than a riser?

An arm gives finer adjustment and frees desk space; a riser is simpler and adds storage. Both solve height.
