I think most of ppl have the opposite problem called "nerd neck" from looking down all the time while using phone, laptop ect. This could be a nice antidote to that :D .
Never heard of nerd neck til now. Every single piece of ergonomic advice on using monitors that I have encountered has recommended that the top of your monitor be level with your eyes so you look down (slightly) rather than up.
Yes, and it doesn't just affect your neck. Setting it up like that is also better for eye strain and fatigue, because if your monitor is too high and you're looking up (defined as your eyes angled above your horizon), tear production is inhibited and your eyes get tired a lot faster.
I just had a cervical fusion after 26 years in IT. Not a fun time. I really suggest you do not look downward at your screens. My surgeon used the term “computer neck” so it must be a common thing.
