Yeah… I was reading the post you replied and I thought what kind of monitor OP had since now monitors are gigantic and the advice is to have to top at your eyes level, not the center. To you don’t have to rise it, but to low it.
Here on LW a lot of people don’t just follow the official advice and it’s generally fine to recommend things that differ from the official advice. In those cases I however think it’s important to explain why one considers the official advice wrong.
I would be surprised if the advice came out of having a smaller monitor. I used to believe monitors should be higher too. Human biomechanics are complicated. This reminds me of one dance teacher I had you had a professional training in dance and who went to learn from other dance teachers in New York. After she came back she had the idea that the impulse during dancing should always go forward. Four months later all the women in her dance classes were a lot more tense during dancing.
From an naive point of view having a monitor higher exerts a force on being more upright similar to having the impulse being forward in the dance example which is also making the dancer more upright. I think that argument got me started to increase the hight of my monitor before I understood anything about human biomechanics. Unfortunately, I don’t think I can easily explain the gear level of why it’s that way in a comment, so I just point to the official advice and the problem having a higher monitor caused for my cervical spine.
