    Personally, years ago when I was coding I would get neck strain from having the monitor below my eye level because I found my head movement always followed my eyes. So when my eyes were always looking slightly down, I would always start to tilt my head down to compensate. It wasn’t until I raised my monitor much higher that my headaches went away. Even now when I hold my phone, I naturally hold it to the middle of my eye level, not below.

      Yeah, guidlines be guidelines. What also makes a difference is screen angle. as we like to position our head tilt to match equal distance to screen corners. phones gives everone bad posture unless you at least hold top of phone parallel to eye level. But then you get tired arms.
