Monitor stands put the screen where the person needs it: desktop risers that lift a display to eye height, adjustable stands that add tilt, swivel, and height range the monitor's own base lacks, and multi-monitor stands that line up two or more screens on one footprint. They are the least expensive ergonomic upgrade a workstation can get.
Start with the monitor's weight and mounting pattern - most stands grip either the display's original base area or its VESA mount, and the stand's rated size and weight range must cover the screen actually in service. Then think about what the desk needs back: risers with storage reclaim the space under the screen, while adjustable stands matter most where one desk serves several people.
