Select your computer desks based on monitor placement for your LCDs or Laptops:
Computers with LCD displays can be installed in classroom computer desks in several ways to achieve the best balance between teacher-student interaction and ergonomic user-equipment interface.
Determining the best computer monitor location should be based upon teaching methods, curriculum requirements and the advantages and drawbacks of each configuration in meeting these criteria.
SMARTdesks computer training workstations, desks and tables are manufactured in all configurations:
Semi-Recessed CRT and LCD
Sub-Surface CRT and LCD monitor
LCD monitor Arm
Desktop CRT, LCD and Laptop
Because - in some educational circumstances - the computer is:
the focus of instruction
used for research, not instruction
the instruction itself
used for self-directed CBT
used for independent study

Semi-Recessed Desks position the monitor just below the users horizon line, protects equipment, conceals cables and permits an unobstructed line-of-sight plus ideal user ergonomics for the classroom |
| |
Sub-Surface Desks place the monitor under a glass window allowing the Worksurface to be used for writing and textbook based learning when the computer is not in use, protects equipment and cables and maintains line-of-sight |
| |
Desktop monitor workstations hold all monitors and laptop computers. The screen is visible to student and instructor and convenient for shared computing where line-of-sight, equipment security and cable protection are not at issue |
| |
LCD Monitor Arms on classroom computer desks support a highly adjustable view of the screen for both students and teacher, but obstruct line-of-sight and provide little protection for the monitor and cables |
