Allsop Redmond Notebook Stand, Black
It’s official. There are now more notebook computers being sold than desktops. The problem is that desktop computers have several ergonomic benefits over their better-selling counterparts. The keyboard is bigger, the monitor is at a better angle, there is room for a mouse.
The Redmond Notebook Stand takes care of a couple of those. The ratcheting hinge allows you raise or lower your notebook screen to put it at the correct angle per your height. Plug in your own keyboard and mouse to create the perfect desktop working atmosphere. It’ll keep you more upright and help prevent those neck kinks. Get the ergonomics and still have a piece that looks good on your desk.
The Redmond Notebook Stand is designed to look like it came with your computer. A glance down the computer aisles of Best Buy or a quick perusal of Dell.com, are enough to show you that computers are going black, gray and silver. And the Redmond Notebook Stand follows suit. The chrome-like base gives a high-tech look. The dark santoprene-coated shelf has a little grip to keep your notebook secure. There are hi-tech benefits like a grate design that dissipates heat, and lo-tech favorites like the pen tray. Ergonomics, convenience and good looks.

This works great, but it's far more than is needed...unfortunately it's the only one I could find. It's well made, using very nice materials and a rachet system for adjustability of the angle...but all that is expensive and once you adjust it once, you'll likely never have to adjust it again. So...you pay a lot for functionality that isn't really ever used.
Would like to have found something very simple, adjustable, and cheaper.
Excellent value

Monitors come supporting different video connector technologies:
VGA, DVI, DisplayPort, HDMI, or combinations. Not every monitor
supports these, so check the specifications carefully before making your
selection.
The Digital Visual Interface (DVI) is the
most popular high-quality digital connection for monitors (though HDMI is
quickly becoming its equal in popularity). DVI is a video interface
standard designed to maximize the visual quality of digital display devices
such as flat panel LCD computer displays and digital projectors. It was
developed by an industry consortium, the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG).
It is designed for carrying uncompressed digital video data to a compatible
monitor or projector, and is partially compatible with the High-Definition
Multimedia Interface (HDMI) standard in digital mode (DVI-D).
DVI represents a major improvement in image quality over the older VGA
standard.
The DVI interface uses a digital protocol
in which the desired illumination of pixels is transmitted as binary data.
When the display is driven at its native resolution, it will read each
number and apply that brightness to the appropriate pixel. In this way, each
pixel in the output buffer of the source device corresponds directly to one
pixel in the display device, whereas with an analog signal the appearance of
each pixel may be affected by its adjacent pixels as well as by electrical
noise and other forms of analog distortion.
Previous standards such as the analog VGA were designed for CRT-based
devices and thus did not use discrete time display addressing. As the analog
source transmits each horizontal line of the image, it varies its output
voltage to represent the desired brightness. In a CRT device, this is used
to vary the intensity of the scanning beam as it moves across the screen.
The two types of DVI interfaces are Single
Link and Dual Link. Following are the features and benefits of each:
Single Link - The Single Link interface is limited to a maximum pixel
clock of 165 Hz. It uses four (4) twisted pairs of wires (one each of Red,
Green, Blue and Clock). Maximum resolution is 1920 x 1200 at 60Hz.
Dual Link - The Dual Link interface is most common for today’s modern
LCD monitors. It provides three times as many pixels as the Single Link
interface. And its maximum clock may exceed 165 Hz. Dual Link uses six (6)
twisted pairs wires with two (2) each for Red, Green, and Blue, as well as a
pair for Clock. Dual Link’s maximum resolution is 2560 x 1600 at 60Hz. When
you use the Dual Link Interface you can use a longer cable because of its
higher bandwidth. Dual Link also provides HDCP support, which is required
for Blu-Ray playback.
If your Computer supports DVI ports, but
the Monitor does not, then a DVI to VGA adaptor is available at low cost to
solve this. Or inversely, if the Computer output is only VGA, and the
Monitor supports DVI, adaptors are available for this as well.

Dual Monitor
Technology
Few PC users have ever experienced the huge productivity boost that comes
from using multiple monitors on the same PC. Ironically, many of
today's PC have the capability already installed, and Windows (since 2000)
natively supports dual monitors. Configuring dual monitors is so easy: just use
the second video port (if there are two separate ports installed), or add a
second video card or better yet, a video card that has dual DVI ports.
Then plug in your second monitor, change a couple of simple Windows settings,
and you have double the Windows Desktop. This lets you have your
spreadsheet and email visible at the same time, or PowerPoint and Photoshop.
The combinations are endless. And since most of the overhead is
handled by the video card, there is little significant impact (if any) on
system performance. Dual Monitors is one of the simplest, yet most
amazing productivity boosters you can add to your PC! Optionally, you can use a dual monitor stand and recover your workspace in the process!
