Monitors too low?

[squiffy]

Looking at buying a new desk. Now my existing desk has a shelf raised above the main part by 4.5". With the Philips ontop and using the variable height stand it's perfect (it's actually ontop of a Rotel amp, with monitor is now in the lowest position)

However if I buy a single shelf type desk I'm wondering it'll be still low, just checked and at eye level looking about 2" above the screen. That's with the monitor ontop of the Rotel, and monitor to the highest position.


Do do you find monitors are too low?

im lucky in this sense my chair is adjustable for height and i sit about 3 feet from my monitor (20 inch vx2025)

But if you sit too low it's below the edge of the desk. You would have to raise your arms to type.

Thinking about getting Ikea Fredrick (update on the Jerker) it has two shelfs, so monitor and speakers can go on one raised shelf, with the amplifier and keyboard on the main part.
