Your monitor placement is hurting you: 5 common mistakes to avoid

Monitor placement is key to a healthy posture at your desk, whether for work or gaming. If the monitor is too far, too close, too high, too low, or tilted at the wrong angle, you will develop posture-related problems at some point—like eye strain, fatigue, back pain, or more severe issues like herniated disks and pinched nerves.

As someone with chronic back issues who works at a desk all day, I take my workstation setup seriously. I switched to a standing desk and sometimes even use an under-desk treadmill, plus I incorporate all kinds of other desk-related health tips and habits. I know first-hand what can happen when I neglect these things.
