stand to raise cinema display

[objc]

I have 20" I think cinema display here at work and my neck and shoulders are not doing too well because the display is too low. Are there any good stands I can get to raise it? Any suggestions? Thanks.

Put a book under it.

I use one of these Allsop stands with my 25.5" Monitor, they are reasonably stylish and the price is good, I am very happy with mine.

The ad offers pewter, they also make a black one that I picked up at my local Staples a few weeks ago, much better looking.

You could get the VESA mount adapter kit from apple, this would allow you to replace the stand with a height adjustable one.

There's a few places online that specialize in monitor mounts/arms.

Perhaps either of these would have what you want, or at least can get you started.

Hope this helps. 🙂

it all depends on how high you need to go. Macnessity makes some really cool aluminum stands that you can slide your keyboard under it when not in use or even a laptop.

I'm thinking over getting one for my MBP, but I'm still determining if I want to use it open as a second monitor. 🙂

Check them out...very cool.

I agree, no need to buy a stand just shove a book under it.. hehe

It's probably overkill for your needs but this is what I did.

It's a humanscale m7 vesa mount. You'll also need the apple vesa adapter kit.

That won't work because this is the older plastic one with 3 feet, not the newer aluminum model.

Three books.

There's no VESA mounting option for the ACD Displays so the only way to raise it higher is to raise whatever it is on. Most of the stands available retail are for displays with a single central stand so you'll be hard pressed finding anything suitable for the full width of your display's legs.

In which case you're best bet is to get a shelf and some cupboard feet from somewhere like ikea. That will allow you to put the acd on a higher setting.

Dude, I have also been looking for ages, all i find are the ones with clamps. I am just looking for a cheap replacement stand which is a stand and not a clamp 🙁 ... would use a clamp if it werent for the desk I have... 🙁
