I used to work only off my laptop monitor.
But then neck pain and eye strain wrecked my productivity.
And now I only use external monitors set at eye level.
Look at the downward angle this user needs to see her laptop monitor screen.
In fact, holding this angle for long periods of time is causing multiple computer posture problems:
→ slouching forward
→ spinal disc degeneration
→ forward head posture
→ excessive muscle tension
How I Fix My Laptop Monitor Neck Pain
My solution for laptop monitor neck pain:
→ I still use my laptop, but I always connect an external monitor to it.
→ I raise my external monitor until the top of the screen is at eye level. I only make this adjustment while I’m sitting with an upright torso, and a balanced, neutral spine (with its natural curves intact). I never make this adjustment while slouching forward.
