Stand question for owners of NEC 20WGX2

Paul -C- · 2 Sep 2006 at 17:11

I've had my 20WGX2 for a few months now and I love it, apart from one thing - the height of it.

If I sit it on my desk it kills my neck, cos it's too low. So for the past two months I've had it sitting on books, raising it around 4".

What do you guys do? Are there any good stands available for it?

Your eyes should be roughly level with the top of the monitor. You could adjust your chair hight? If you google search for "monitor desk arms" you will see lots of available desk arms/wall mounts which would help you.

I prefer my eyes to be in line with the middle of the monitor screen. Any lower and I get a sore neck from constantly looking down.

I've already got my chair at the lowest setting and I have a corner desk, so a desk arm wouldn't work.

I guess all I'm looking for is a cheap stand which looks more professional than a copy of Argos and a Harry Potter book underneath my monitor

Fair enough, I cant think of anything else to suggest apart from a new desk with a monitor shelf?

I'm gonna have another try at sitting it flat on the desk.

I could do with some of that, since I wear contacts.
