How high should a monitor be positioned when using a monitor arm?

The ergonomic target: the top edge of the screen at or just below eye level, with the monitor roughly 20–24 inches from your face. For most seated adults, that puts the center of the screen about 4–6 inches above the desk surface. A monitor arm lets you nail that positioning precisely — unlike a fixed stand that gives you one height. Users wearing bifocals often need the screen slightly lower than standard. FindOfficeFurniture.com recommends arms with at least ±15 inches of height range for full flexibility — call 888-719-4960.
