Flat panel monitors became increasingly popular as the technology grew less expensive during early to mid 2000s.
Several companies like Ergotron, Multibrackets ab, Mount- it, Loctek and Herman Miller have been producing mounts since the early 2000s.
A monitor mount placed at the appropriate height, distance and angle can help “prevent possible health effects such as excessive fatigue, eye strain, and neck and back pain.”[2] Monitor mounts are especially important for anyone using a standing or walking desk because of the dynamic height and stability requirements for those applications.
[3] Monitor mounts offer ergonomic benefits by allowing users to adjust screen height, tilt, and angle, promoting a neutral neck position and reducing musculoskeletal strain.
Proper screen positioning, especially in dynamic work environments like adjustable desks, ensures consistent ergonomic benefits.
