[QUOTE="Thymen, post: 1461333, member: 243742"] I bought a Vesa panel adapter, and put my iMac on a standard screen console. This way it is lower by several inches then with the standard stand. My eyes are now at about the same level as the top of the screen. For me, it helps in avoiding neck strain and subsequent headaches. Apple should really do something about screen font size. At the standard resolution, they are simply too small for people my age (mid 50) and older. I already use special computer glasses, but still menu fonts cannot be read with ease. For web browsing it is not too much of a problem, but had I known before that using applications like Word or Pages on the iMac would cause so much strain on my eyes due to peering at the small menus, I would never have bought it. I would have put my money towards buying a decent workstation running Windows. Should have known; except for in top management, Apple does not employ developers over 40, so I have been told, maybe that is why Apple is not empathic toward it's older customers. Design prevails over ergonomics. I guess. Screen font size is my biggest gripe with the iMac. Unless Apple solves this issue with future systems, it is the first but also the last Mac I will ever buy.... Thymen [/QUOTE]
