    Thought side is also a no. You don’t want your head cranked downward.

      The guidelines in Germany say the first line of the screen should be 10cm (4 ½in) below your eyes. I find that uncomfortable, too.

        I like it when the first line is 5 - 10 cm above my eyes.

        Screens have grown bigger.

          What is the “first line” of a screen?

            I’m guessing, but it would logically follow that this is a callback to when computers used text-based interfaces. The old 80x25 character resolution.

            So the “first line” is the top 1/25th of the viewable screen (4%).

            A complete guess from me. I’ve been using computers since the late 80s and this is a new term to me too.
