Blue said:I measured my monitors height and the actual screen sits approx. just under 5 1/2 cm's from my desk surface. This is the actual LCD screen and not bezel of the monitor. Looks like it sits a fair bit higher then the one in your picture.
alright, thanks blue. now i have to decide whether or not i'll like this or not......
Blue said:Good luck with your decision. I can see where this monitor would not be the one for you based on its height alone. It truly is a weakness of this particular monitor not having a very adjustable screen. I'm going to be buying an Arm for mine that mounts on the wall. It will add more adjustability for me but I don't really need it as where it sits on my desk the height is perfect for me.
i see. i haven't been able to find any other monitors that come close to these viewsonics.. do you have any suggestions?
also, where are you getting this arm from?
Blue said:Well I was considering Futureshop. I don't like to shop there though as the prices are stupidly high all the time and the folks working there usually know nothing.
This page has many http://www.futureshop.ca/search/searchresult.asp?logon=&langid=EN&search=KWS
This is the one I am considering or possibly black model http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/pr...angid=EN&sku_id=0665000FS10061237&catid=22918
If you google for Vesa (mount) you will come up with allot of results. They have arms that clamp onto your desk or are wall mountable. I want this mainly to free up my desk space that much more. I also like the idea of being able to swing the screen out of my way and by the looks of it you'll get a much better tilt with it mounted to one of these arms. They can be very expensive but you can find the slightly shorter ones for around $150. I believe.
Edit:
I notice that the first link does not work but if you type "wall mount" in the sites search engine you'll get the page that has many options.
alright.. thanks man! those arms are ridiculously high though
