>Subject: Recessed Monitors?

------------------
Speaking of monitors below the desk level, what experience do you all have with these?  I've taught in a couple of labs around the country where they have this type of arrangement.  They have little plastic hoods over the glass to avoid the glare of overhead lights.  I find students leaning over, peering into the glass at the monitor.  Thus their line of site is down, instead of more naturally forward, able to catch the movement of the instructor or easily glance at a projected image at the front.

I guess I'm wondering if recessed monitors are such a good idea after all?  I'd be interested in feedback from those who have them and have used them extensively, and can compare with traditional monitor arrangements.

... unless you drop the monitor below the desk (with a glass panel in the worktop).
