How do I get my monitor at the right height on a straight desk without a monitor arm?

Without a monitor arm, monitor height on a straight desk is adjusted by stacking the monitor on risers. The target: the top of the screen at or slightly below eye level when seated upright. For most people at a standard 29-inch desk, this requires a riser of 3–6 inches depending on monitor height and your seated eye level. Options: purpose-built monitor risers (sturdy, often with storage space below), hardcover books (free but impermanent), or a combination of desk risers and the monitor's built-in stand adjustment. Most modern monitors have 2–4 inches of built-in tilt and height adjustment on the stand — maximize this before adding risers. A proper monitor arm is the most flexible and ergonomic solution.
