Computer Desk with low height for large monitor users?

[crimson117]

Does anyone have a recommendation for a desk (and chair?) that would allow me to look generally downward at a 24" monitor? (soyo topaz s 24")

I think looking downward at a monitor encourages better posture, as I feel my neck aching after looking slightly upward at my 24" monitor for a while.

This is my current desk, and my chair needs replacement (hydraulics are shot, forcing it to sit low).

Price range for desk - under $500 bucks for furniture-quality wooden desk, or under $300 or so for a more techy computer workstation desk. 75" wide would be about the max. I don't have room for a L-shaped desk.

Price range for chair - <$150, cloth or leather is fine, armrests are nice.

A typical work desk height is between 28-30". Most are about 29". I have the same monitor but my desk stands at 29.5" coupled with a hydraulic chair. You're correct that the user should be looking down on a monitor instead of up. The angle of vision should be between 15-30 degrees from eye level. I recommend taking a trip to OD or OM to find the right desk and chair for your need. Remember, you can always raise the position of the monitor by using stands or boxes but cannot lower it lower than the desk height!

You need them gold African neck-stretching rings! Then you could look down at your monitor and everybody else too!

Instead of buying a new desk/chair buy $1,000 worth of tools/materials and modify your current desk...
