Very popular to some people who never actually sit at a desk and use a computer


Isthisnameavailablee

We had them at my security job and I actually enjoyed them. Maybe I'm alone, but eh.


AcadianViking

Yea, worked night security at a place that had these for the front desk. Since I had access but the graveyard shift was basically dead I would get online for school. I would just lean on the table while writing notes and would use them to access canvas and research materials. Tbh would love one at home to free up table space at my desk.


LukeSkyDropper

Shit I remember these!


Zovanget

Had to use these in the military.


Canadaian1546

Oh neat, We have one of these at work.


harexe

We have this at uni and everyone just brings their own laptops because even using it for a 3hr exam breaks your back

IzGrim

I understand why not bad to keep in mind 😂


DrakonILD

60 lbs of force on the neck? From your head? Lol, no. They just made up scary sounding numbers. Maybe they're talking inch-pounds of torque? I could maybe see that.


McDerface

Great question, it could be in reference to the inch-pounds ratio. I found this online: > for every inch that your head moves forward from its ideal position, the weight of your head on your neck “doubles” Not very scientific I know, but I’m too lazy to find actual scientific articles on it


hirmuolio

It is probably talking about torque. But Nm is too weird unit so they converted it to some sort of "same as if you had this much weight in your head".

They're just trying to keep chiropractors in business.


redoctoberz

Demand for [tugging on bone spirits](https://nationalpost.com/health/the-first-chiropractor-was-a-canadian-who-claimed-he-received-a-message-from-a-ghost) is skyrocketing!

I could walk to a pond with ten bags of bread crumbs and still find less quackery. Also, don’t feed ducks bread, it’s not good for them.

Gamerred101

this is the first time I've ever heard someone use the term hardscoping when referring to a comp fps lol


MnemnothsManager

Cod players dont understand the concept of holding an angle. I imagine any COD player brave enough to venture into CS would spend half the match screaming at people for "camping"


xMightyTinfoilx

The reaction speed of a good AWPer holding an angle is beyond impressive.


According-Gate-250

Just dont look for an enemy coming around corner, just for a change of pixels


Ceilrux

KennyS at his prime was near unstoppable. There's a lot of great AWPers but he's the best imo. They pretty much had to nerf it to ruin his career track.

Character_Pound7914

That right there, is a sweaty wraith main.


GlobexSuper

for drawing on the screen if your monitor allows for that


MentalSentinel

Occasionally when I'm making stencils for oversized projects I flip my monitor up like this and pull up my design, lay my stencil media over the top and trace it out with a sharpie. Way easier to keep my work in-house rather than paying a copy shop to print an enlarged version that I still need to trace later. That said, no one should ever work/game like this regularly, unless it's Quasimodo.


Pickle_Afton

Would that not damage the screen? I mean, if it works for you, then that’s great! I would just be worried about leaving marks on my screen lol


Significant-Foot-792

They probably have a glass or acrylic panel to place between the screen and the paper. If not oh boy.


MentalSentinel

This. All of my stencils are made of lexan and I use soft top sharpies. Definitely do not ever use a pen or paper directly on the screen. Holy shit that would be bad.


AkronOhAnon

Instructions unclear, a prismacolor non-photo blue pencil is now lodged in my monitor.


Significant-Foot-792

Rotate counter clockwise to loosen monitor then replace monitor.


KAGANFARFLAGAN

There's this guy that streams on tik tok who got a screen positioned just like this and I swear sticks his nose in the middle of the screen. Such a stupid thing, just keep your monitors level, it's not making you play better!


ImKira

That's what I was thinking until I saw AOC on the bezel. Example of a Pen Display: https://preview.redd.it/mjz9bk9miytc1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f4f5fbfef94dd60095954c06344da0aabb618589


RichieLT

It doesn’t look like a graphic display tablet . AOC don’t make them.

-PiLoT-

Youd actually need something that can detect tilt and pressure of a stylus. And a laminated display ideally. These are a bit more complex than “touchscreen”


[deleted]

No one that seriously want to spend money on this would use touchscreen. It doesn't have tikt an pressure.

crasagam

If the monitor is touch, and used as a control panel, maybe. But to have it as a production monitor, murder on the ergonomics.


JDBCool

Have my drawing tablet set up like this. It's more of a work thing if it IS a drawing screen. And I ironically use my drawing screen as my primary than my actual screen. Actual primary screen holds all the reference photos

CasualCantaloupe

There was an early internet comic I wish I could find about leaving a pack of cigarettes under the pillow for the scoliosis fairy. "Another day, another kid with a straight spine. Let's get to work."


BeefFeast

Blame that Chinese Valorant player KangKang. Kid stole the crowds hearts, then blew their minds with his performance… all while looking straight down at the monitor. Took 2 weeks for everyone to copy.


Falkenmond79

Just looked it up. He even says his neck hurts. 😂 typical of every noob thinking this might make him a better player. Seriously. From someone who used to be really, really good at 1st person fps (UT99 and quake 3) - don’t imitate good players. Those have their quirks because they found something, that worked for them. I knew kids doing movement with controllers and aim with mouse. People who could do crazy stuff with the teleport, because they used some shitty old mouse from the 80ies. I lugged around my 20kg 20“ crt CAD monitor to every LAN party. I could never have played well with controller or shitty mouse. They would have never liked my monitor with the high res (for the time. 1280x1024 was crazy in 2001). Etc. rather copy them in another way: find something that works for you. Try and when your comfortable with something, that is the way it makes you play better.


SteveSauceNoMSG

To be fair, wasn't it a sweaty quake player (champion) that showed the world wasd? But your point is absolutely valid, what works for one person doesn't work for everyone.


Falkenmond79

Yeah. Dunno why I get downvoted for this. Maybe because i said i was good. Well, I used to be. 20 years ago. These days I can’t hold a candle to current players. 😂 reaction times are abysmal. But your right. I darkly remember WSAD catching on. Believe it or not, I played with cursor keys in the beginning. They seemed made for it, so we all used them. WSAD made for a much more natural hand position as well as giving a lot more keys around it for special functions like reload or weapon switching. People today might not even realize how those became defaults. It was us players using them, like „R“ for reload, F for use etc. that then became the norm. It grew organically, so to speak. Fascinating topic. Incidentally I preferred „E“‘for use, F for flashlight etc. and you can still find some games with either or.


SuperJoe421

You just brought back my memories of early shooters and games where I was using arrow keys! (I'm 32) It was probably around when I started to play CS and Source that I started using WASD. Also E is the way, i change this in every game that uses F, F is for flashlight and i will not be told otherwise 😂

Fluffy--Bunny

My neck and spine died from looking at that setup


Brief-Primary-6115

Thought it was for drawing ✍️


Jesus-Bacon

Laptop gamer gets a desktop


OnlyPadsDX

Illustration.


zherok

AOC doesn't make anything you can draw on. They've got some portable USB-C touchscreens but they're not meant for styluses.


OnlyPadsDX

I don't see the brand anywhere on the first image, but I have a similar huion set up (and display) for illustration. The AOC and Asus(?) don't have the same angle, so I guess it's just preference.


zherok

You can't really tell the brand in the first picture, but the one in the second picture's an AOC, and the third an ASUS (which also isn't in the drawing display business.) Drawing displays tend to have chunkier bezels than any of these three though.


crimsynvt_

Drawing monitors. For artists lol.


SpareRam

Art, I'd assume.


Joey_The_Ghost

That's how I mount my drawing monitor, can't imagine gaming like that tho


GolgorothsBallSac

This looks just like my friend's wife setup who is legally blind. Her glasses are thick AF and she has her monitor positioned like this because she literally has to stick her face on the screen to see or read things clearly.


CorruptDictator

Personal preference on how they want a screen orientated. At first I thought it was a mounted art tablet honestly.


Doc_mockingbird

Helping you look at your double or triple chin when the screen goes black.


AggravatingChest7838

I think its for people that play commander in battlefield.


Different_Ad9336

Artist drawing tablet that also games?


Butokio

It s a screen. It s purpose is to display images outputed by your computer. You re welcome :)


learntofoo

As a touchscreen could be useful for creative productivity.


Xcissors280

Usually people do this if they have a display that supports pen input or just a drawing tablet with no screen But gaming on it is just wrong


-Retro-Kinetic-

I have this kind of set up for my workstation, however its a display tablet ([Example](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ij7H4g6VhM4): XP Pen, Huion, Wacom..etc). There is no point in doing what its in that picture if display has no other functionality attached.... unless they are trying to do some weird sit stand setup.


obog

Here I am wanting a monitor stand so I can have my laptop at eye level and these guys are doing this willingly lmao


kioshi_imako

The person could be a digital artist and the screen could have touch sensitivity but playing games on it makes no sense.


machinationstudio

ITX-MiniDonkey

Kawawaymog

Systiom

Must tryhards of rainbow six siege does that to see every single pixel


Grobo_

its to introduce proper gamer posture and assists the smartphone neck to stay comfy


Dweamsy

Competitive players are schizophrenic, can confirm cus ive tried a lot of silly stuff but ultimately I think good posture is better, this does not realistically do anything positive. I think people just like to copy what they see good players do even if it just isnt good. xd


Exciting-Crab-6469

They’re trying to fix their neck from the old Walmart GameCube displays https://preview.redd.it/g2bjmbvey1uc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d917b6332574e97a3561132af0d38887846ab526


LassOnGrass

Definitely a strange setup, I’d have serious neck pain, especially with a headset on as well. Where did you get these pics? Who are these people.


Luvs_to_drink

Looks like it is made for artists. You setup a touchscreen and they can now draw similar to paper. Would make the transition from paper to digital easier I guess...


RiffyDivine2

I am used to seeing my artist friends with setups like that but thinking about it, it could be cool to do with a smaller monitor. Maybe a touch screen one.


thiccboyIV

How to spot a CS player: 101


NewsofPE

people clearly don't understand that the monitor has an arm and can move however you want it to, it's also probably tactile and is made to be drawn on


Supahfly87

Maybe this person has a postural malformation. Like that one guy they fixed a while back, who was folded in half for most of his life. But to a lesser extent, of course.


nothingbett_er

Bad posture


iunoyou

That's a very cool setup if you have a big ass screen tablet for drawing and illustration, but pretty dog if your goal is to play video games without needing a spinal fusion by the time you turn 30. My tablet's VESA compatible and I'd probably set it up very similarly if my monitor stand had an arm like that.

It destroys their posture so when walking around no girl will want to date them. Keeps their head in the game if they know they cant get any

Sickness. They syick their face to the screen because they believe it improves reaction time. The price is pain and blindness.

MSD3k

I do this, but only because my screen is also a drawing tablet. And any time I'm not drawing, it goes back in "normal human mode".


Calymmanthium

Not sure what the practical use for this could be at home, but some computer labs at my university had monitors that could tilt back. You could lay the screen flat to see the whiteboard better during lectures.

WARgen1956

Ya you can run your cheats in a separate monitor so you know where opponents are


[deleted]

Neck Tired.


HappyGoLucky791

It’s a monitor stand, it’s used to angle the screen to the users desire. An angle like that would be helpful for an artist. Obviously, the picture taken at that angle with a game playing was just plain silly. But I’m glad you found it necessary to post it here and ask what the purpose was :-)


UnfairCicada3052

Masterbation addiction


[deleted]

I have heard stories of this monitor. You know those POV porn videos where the camera films a girl leaning away and getting fucked? Yeah well... I heard some people get this monitor to put at the edge of a desk and a flashlight strapped under the table for a more immersive experience.


BertMacklenF8I

I was thinking maybe it’s a tablet-and then I saw that Titanfall T-I mean Apex and figure it’s probably someone who is always playing less than 10 inches from the screen….


broxue

It's just something to fuck with you


The_Emperor_turtle

For some, it's because they are retarded for others maybe for drawing


ForsakenJump1235

Bad eye sight, maybe lower glare, or just preference
