    Definitely not ergonomic as others have stated. In good practice when working at a desk (or even gaming), the top of the monitor should be at your eye level. Only your eyes should look downward, not your head. The monitor in general should be about one arm’s length distance from your body - this varies depending on monitor size, resolution, et cetera.

    From my personal anecdotal experience, while one would think that having the monitor’s center at eye level is great, it was uncomfortable during a long gaming session. I would crane my neck up to look at certain things on the UI at the top of the screen when I should have just glanced with my eyes. After I switched to the ergonomic method of having top of the monitor at eye level, it has dramatically improved my comfort and ergonomics.

    I tried something like that position when I was younger and much more flexible but after developing calluses in weird places stopped doing that.

    But srs 2-10 years of that and your herniated disc will explain why that’s a bad idea to you
