Monitor Arms FAQ
DEAS (Desk Ergonomics Assessment Score) is Desk Doctor’s product rating system. Each product is scored across core performance, build quality, and design penalties, producing a 0–10 composite — higher is better. Tap any row in the table to see the full sub-score breakdown.
A stand is a fixed-height riser — simple and stable. An arm adjusts freely and is the better choice if you share or reposition your screen, or run multiple monitors.
It can, by letting you set the top of the screen at eye level so you’re not tilting your head down. Height is the key dimension — the arm just makes it easy to reach.
Scores are refreshed as products are revised and new models are tested. The table always reflects the current DEAS data.
