Prices continue to drop for those sleek, space saving flat-panel monitors, but don't get skimp on features when you're shopping. It's exciting to see a 15 or 17 inch LCD monitor under $200 but be sure the height and size are appropriate for you. Only the higher priced models have an adjustable slider to control the height. If you can't try it out by sitting at a desk with the monitor you're buying, make sure you get one you can tilt or adjust.
The top of a monitor should usually be about even with your eyebrows, so your head, neck and shoulders aren't strained. CNet has done the work for you, with an exhaustive review of the best flat-panel screens, fully adjustable no matter what your preference.

Anything's better than balancing that new monitor on phone books!

Good tip!
Recently I replaced my 17" Dell flat panel with a Samsung SyncMaster 910t 19" and I love it. I know that a major spec. is to look for contrast ratio. This particular model is 1000:1 which is the best that I have found. I also downloaded a windows XP powertool called true type and it has made a huge difference also. I did all this because I had been having eye strain but I never even thought about the hight aspect...sometimes I have to get up and take a break because my neck gets to hurting so bad. So I will make ajustments to the height now. Thanks.
