Loading... Please wait...Almost 90% of the users who have a desk job find themselves staring at a computer screen for more than half the day, be it one of the old or the latest technology flat screen monitors or an LCD laptop screen. While offices in Australia are increasingly adopting ergonomic principles in today's workspace, fact remains that prolonged usage of Computers without adequate ergonomic accessories causes long term heath issues. Health issues are not limited to headaches or neck sprains anymore, but serious long term side effects include stress on the verebrae and spinal discs.
This sleek & lightweight rotating monitor stand from Targus allows you to place your monitor / laptop at a comfortable viewing height, so you can sit upright in a more natural relaxed position. Doing this will reduce strain on your back, improve posture and prevent those groggy late afternoon headaches and strains. The stand has adjustable legs, which allows one to adjust the viewing angle to the desired position. Legs can be manually adjusted between 9.5 and 11.3 cms to the desired height and works on any flat surface.
Folks who work in an office environment, would like the fact that the monitor stand comes with a swivel base (90 degree rotation). This allows you to sit comfortably in your chair and share your screen with colleagues without moving at all. While the monitor stand is extremely light-weight, it hold nearly 12 times it's weight ! Yes - its true. Targus recommends using this stand for monitors upto 23kgs in weight. (I personally use this rotating stand as a TV Stand and my 42" Flat Screen Samsung TV, which holds up just fine and I'm able to rotate and adjust the viewing angle of the TV, to view it from anywhere in my room).
Apart from the general ergonomic benefits, the stand helps organise your desk space. Space underneath the montor stand can be used to organise papers or even keep your laptop computer (incase if you use both your laptop and your desktop). Additionally - the base for the rotating monitor stand is wider than most stands available in the market today. This gives you the added benefit of keeping your personal stuff (e.g. stapler / pen stand / coffee cup) etc by the side of the monitor.
Lastly, the engineers at Targus have been mindful of integrating a cable organiser within the stand design itself - which helps you keep your workspace clutterfree.
