What should I consider when picking a monitor riser

Most of us just plonk our monitor on our existing desk and think we are good to go. At home you may have a little more flexibility when it comes to customising the height of your monitor in various ways, but in the office, a professional look may be preferred. Many of us might use books to raise it to a comfortable level; acceptable in your home office but it looks ugly and your line manager might object if you do this in your office! Fortunately, with Desky's range of monitor risers to suit all budgets, you have an alternative way of ergonomically raising both home and office monitors with a monitor riser.

A monitor riser lifts the top of your monitor screen to eye level, the optimal ergonomic position. No more hunching over the desk all day. This simple change in position significantly decreases muscle tension throughout your neck and back and allows for smoother movement, preventing eye strain, as well as helping people who navigate through multiple screens at once.

A monitor riser creates a workstation that works best for your needs as well as provides extra storage space under the riser, making it easy to work free from clutter. In the area under the stand there is also plenty of space to place a small laptop.

Which Monitor Riser To Pick?

The Desky range of monitor risers includes dual-monitor stands, adjustable and non-adjustable monitor stands, as well as a clamp-on riser. And with innovative designers, monitor risers are ever-evolving for better function and durability. Consider the following factors when selecting your monitor stand.

Computer Type

Your choice of monitor riser depends on how you use your computer. To a gamer, for example, the most important feature is optimum enjoyment of the graphics. However, a minimalist user will focus on the design aesthetics.

Maybe you work from home and work in various locations like bed, dining table or the garden, or have no fixed workplace or travel often. The Desky lightweight aluminium riser would be perfect for such users.

Do you need an adjustable riser, ideal for moving from sitting to standing? How many monitors do you want to use on it? How big is your monitor screen and is the monitor risers of your choice able to hold the weight of your monitor? How high does the monitor riser go and can it be positioned at your eye level? You will need to take all of these questions into consideration before deciding on your monitor stand.

Material

Keeping your work area looking good is important. MacBook or iMac users might want our brushed aluminium riser which matches their machine. Whereas the Desky Monitor Riser White Birch delivers a more mid-century, classic style, suiting today's interior.

Our monitor risers at Desky are not only aesthetically pleasing and minimalist, but also boast superior durability and quality. Give us a shout if you need help with your selection.

Are desk risers necessary for workstations?

Desk risers are essential for modern office setups, promoting ergonomics and productivity. By elevating monitors to eye level, they reduce neck strain and encourage a healthier posture.

These adjustable platforms allow easy transitions between sitting and standing, boosting energy and focus. Offices equipped with ergonomic solutions like Desky's desk risers see improved employee efficiency and reduced health-related absences.

Incorporating desk risers can greatly enhance comfort and long-term well-being in the workplace, making them a worthwhile investment for any business focused on optimizing their work environment.

Should you put your monitor on a stand?

Utilizing a monitor stand can drastically improve ergonomics by allowing users to adjust their screens to an optimal viewing height and angle, reducing neck strain, and enhancing comfort during long hours of use.

Moreover, monitor stands help in organizing desks by freeing up valuable workspace, which can lead to a less cluttered and more efficient work area.

What is the optimal position of your monitor?

For optimal ergonomic comfort in office settings, the position of your monitor is crucial. Ideally, your monitor should be placed directly in front of you, with the top of the screen at or slightly below eye level.

This setup helps in maintaining a natural, neutral neck position. The monitor should be about an arm's length away, approximately 50 to 70 centimeters from your eyes, depending on its size and your vision.

This distance minimizes eye strain and promotes a comfortable viewing angle. Additionally, ensure the screen is tilted slightly upward, about 10 to 20 degrees, to reduce glare and facilitate easier reading.

Is a monitor shelf worth it?

Investing in a monitor shelf is highly beneficial for office setups, particularly where ergonomic efficiency is paramount. A monitor shelf elevates the screen to eye level, which is crucial for maintaining good posture and reducing neck strain during long hours of work.

Additionally, it frees up valuable desk space, allowing for a more organized and clutter-free environment. This can lead to enhanced productivity and a more comfortable work experience.
