Reduces the Risk of Neck Injury - A primary risk factor for injury in an office setting is an improperly positioned monitor. Using the Laptop Holder to elevate a screen greatly reduces the risk of injury to the neck from sustained bending to view a monitor that is at desk height.
Cam Optimize the Viewing Angle - Because most monitor mounts offer pan, tilt and height adjustment, when a laptop or tablet is secured in the Laptop Holder it is possible to align the monitor for the best viewing position. These capabilities also make it easier to eliminate glare from lighting or windows.
Monitors are best viewed when the screen is parallel to the face - Monitors are best viewed when the screen is parallel to the face. The ideal angle of the monitor is not necessarily perpendicular to the desk in all cases, however, since some may feel more comfortable slightly tilting their head forward, especially when working in a standing position. Note: As the head tilts forward, there is typically increased weight and load placed on the muscles in the neck, and as such any flexion should be limited to no more than 10 degrees.
Increases Desktop Space - By elevating the device above the worksurface, previously inaccessible desktop space is made available for storage and other office accessories (phones, calculators, etc.).
Helps Maintain Good Posture When Seated - When a monitor is too low, people may choose to adjust the position of their torso instead of, or in addition to, their neck in an attempt to accommodate incorrect monitor height. This will often result in adopting a leaning forward posture, shifting them out of the ideal āSā posture in the spine, and losing any potential lumbar support that their chair provides. Using the Laptop Mount to move the laptop or tablet to an elevated position on a monitor mount may prevent this risk factor from arising.
