How do you position your large monitors for gaming?

I find the old classic of setting the top of the screen to be the same level as eye level weird, as if it is only suited for small 14" CRT. And with TN/VA panels that gamma changes greatly with your eye position, you will need to tilt the screen (top of screen away from you) a lot.
Some e-sport websites suggest the eye level to be at the top 1/4 of the screen. That means I'll need to raise my screen to the max height.

Gamers of 27" and above, kindly share your experience.

it's not about the mount. i'm asking how you position your monitor with relative to your eyes.

I am suggesting to get the mount so you can personally try out different setup and positioning on your eye level to the monitor.

For me I just make sure my back is straight while I am looking at monitors, eye levels varies depending on what I do.

Example, when I eat I usually set my office chair down so I can have my mouth closer to the table while watching content on the monitor at the same time. (feels like cinema front row)

When I work the eye level must be at least the the top 1/2 of the monitor while my elbows being 90 degree bend on the desk dealing with the mouse and kb.

Above is while I am at work place dealing with a 24 inches monitor.

At home I have a sit-stand desk that I can adjust depending on what I am doing combo with a main 27 inches monitor with vesa arm mount.

I position it quite far away but eye level is pretty much similar to at work.

But tbh having a large screen means you need to place it further away from your eyes, so eye level won't matter much already I guess? hmm.gif

I prefer the eye level to be at middle point of these large screen.

TLDR: default stand does not support height adjustment.
