Ask Slashdot: Monitor Setup For Programmers
First time accepted submitter oxidus60659 writes "I currently work as a programmer for a small business. They have provided me with a laptop and a 27" BenQ monitor on a Neo-Flex stand. The problem is that my main screen is the tiny laptop right in front of me. The 27" monitor is on the left at a very different height position. I want to put the 27" monitor directly above my laptop so I'm looking up rather than to the left for all my coding on the bigger monitor. The stand does not have a high enough setting to accommodate this. What would be a good stand that can mount to a desk high enough to be above a laptop? What kind of monitor setup do you use when programming?"
This is the only acceptable answer. Please lock this story now, so we don't get any more stupid comments like mine.
Just sort it out man.
(if they are lying on the ground you will probably need something new to put your feed on, but that's another story,..)

No sig today...
if you want the big screen above the laptop, put it on a stack of telephone books. if that confuses you, ask an old person ;)
if this is supposed to be a new economy, how come they still want my old fashioned money?
Seriously, be a man. Drill a hole in the floor with a jackhammer. Stick in a 2x4. Pour concrete. Nail monitor to the 2x4. Grab a beer. Done.
Dear Slashdotters, I ran out of toilet paper and need to do #2 soon, what should I do?
Use the three sea shells.
