I know this may vary from user to user but... what do you guys think, the monitor should stay in pararel with your eyes? down? up?

i ask this because mine is lower atm, and i think i tend to go down which hurts my back

 

i've read that we shouldn't use it above our eyes somewhere so that was the reason why i lowered it

The 'proper' way is to have the top of the monitor parrel with your eyes and to ahve it angled approx 10-20 degrees towards the ceiling, this is to reduce glair and protect your eyeballs! 

but I know literally nobody who does that...

I prefer to look up at my monitors as (IMO), it improves my posture and also I feel more comfortable in doing so. 

It also means my monitors are elevated so i get more desk space ;)

yea i sometimes watch builds setups and i can see that a lot of users actually uses the monitor little bit above the eye

 

i had to get mine out of the desk because i couldn't stand it so near to me lol might as well give it another chance with different setup 

 

thanks for the answers
