Me, before: "Ugh, this stupid new monitor that's branded For The Gamers™ has a ridiculously low stand, and I constantly need to look down at it. I'm gonna get me a VESA desk mount so it'll be higher and at a more comfortable eye height."
Me, now, with the VESA desk mount: "... cool now it's higher than the other monitors, and there's no real height change for this quite rigid construction."
Yes I could rotate the middle downwards but then the monitor'd basically be against my face, which is also not great
