Placement & Usage Tips
Center the monitor stand on your desk aligned with your seated position. If using a wooden or bamboo stand, ensure it is wide enough to support the full base of your monitor and consider a non-slip pad between the stand and desk to prevent sliding.
💡 Pro Tip
Choose a monitor stand height that places the top edge of your screen at or slightly below eye level when you are seated with proper posture. If you are between sizes, go slightly lower rather than higher, as looking slightly downward is more natural and less straining than looking upward.
