Monitor Stands 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.
The top of the screen should sit roughly at eye level when you’re seated correctly, so your gaze drops slightly to the centre of the display. A stand closes the gap for most desks.
A stand is a fixed riser — stable and inexpensive. An arm adjusts freely and is worth it if you reposition or share your screen. For a single fixed screen, a stand is usually enough.
Scores are refreshed as products are revised and new models are tested. The table always reflects the current DEAS data.
