------------------
It may be important to distinguish a recessed monitor,
set completely beneath the surface and covered with
a glass plate, from a semi-recessed monitor, whose
viewing screen is tilted slightly upward but still above
the desktop.
I'm very interested in knowing more about the second
option as a way of improving sight lines to the instructor
and making it more difficult for students to hide.
I have heard nobody say anything good about the
first option. I think that problems with glare were
the main complaint.
