An ergonomic workspace is vital for comfort and long-term employee health. A poorly optimized setup can result in increased fatigue, loss of focus, or even potential injuries. A worker’s comfort and ergonomic needs, however, can vary over time, often as frequently as multiple times a day for different activities. As such, it is important for elements such as the keyboard, mouse, monitor(s), and chair to be as adjustable as possible.

This paper focuses on the desk space savings and the potential functional and ergonomic benefits of highly-adjustable monitor arms and specialized monitor stands. In particular, we examine the considerations when deciding between traditional-style, individual monitor stands, a dual monitor stand, or clamped monitors arms. Our primary considerations include relative desk footprint, the monitor’s functional range of motion, and ease of adjustment. - DOWNLOAD THE REPORT
