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.
Indirectly but meaningfully. If you tilt or lower your monitor to get a flattering built-in camera angle, you give up correct screen height. An external webcam frees the screen to stay where your neck needs it.

Scores are refreshed as products are revised and new models are tested. The table always reflects the current DEAS data.
