I was going to build a monitor stand prototype with stuff cardboard, but it occurred to me to just start with a monitor the laptop stand. It’s fortunate that I did because I realized that a monitor on a desk this shallow could never work at whatever height it ended up being because it would always be too close to my face. And the monitor I’d get would be larger than this one.
So, I’d have to build or get a little table to sit behind one of my two shallow desks to hold the monitor. And I’d only have room for that in the basement, so I have to think about whether it’s worth getting what will be a de facto “three season” external monitor.
Also, remember when we started calling them “displays”? I’m glad we’re back to calling them monitors.
