lower a monitor

i have a buddy who is currently using the old school 23" Apple Displays on a RTA Creation Station Desk. he feels the monitor is a bit too high, and it's creating a strain on his neck.

was wondering what the alternatives are for lowering the computer monitor.

he's not opposed to getting a new monitor and an arm to attach. a new 23"/24" Apple Display would be cool because it's fairly thin on the bottom, but the arms are either too small to handle 23"; or it's too big/heavy for the desk (the desk is kinda flimsy with particle pressed wood) and because of its protrusion position we may need to offset it to the side...

i'm using 2 Samsung 17" Syncmaster 172x that collapses all the way down which helps, but they don't make these for 23" at all...

any suggestions?

we thought about that, but -

1) you'll see that the desk has rack space in it, so he keeps his audio interface and preamps there (he's a musician/composer)... which means lower desk is out of the picture.

2) he just bought a $600 Herman-Miller Mirra chair. it's more about comfort and good posture.


the monitor thing seems like the easiest and most cost effective way to do things.
