I have had a computer in the living room next to my easy chair for about 5 years now. I use it for working, reference, shopping, blogging, and gaming so that I can multi-task and spend time with my family while I’m also getting something done. I’ve had various methods for keeping the monitor close at hand so I could see it, from setting it on a side table, mounting it on the wall with an arm mount, and I currently have it sitting precariously on a plant stand. Because of that history, this Easy Chair monitor mount would be perfect for me. At $285, the cost is a little steep, but it would probably be worth it if it could prevent my 2-year-old from falling into the monitor and hitting his head again.
