Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

My new iMac screen is too high for my neck disability. How to lower it?

I need to look at the screen about 4" lower than it sits on my desk...also so I can use a keyboard tray. Is there some way to lower the screen? A different kind of arm mount? I have to look straight at the screen...it hurts me to look up, having been rear-ended four times! Former Apple employee here. Have to find a way to make this work. What a beautiful display it has.


Thanks for any ideas.

Be aware that I have almost zero knowledge in this area but one possibility might be to exchange it for one with a VESA Mount Adapter. See the following Buy 24-inch iMac with Built-in VESA Mount Adapter - Apple

and this excerpt from that link:

VESA Mounting Options

Pair your iMac with your favorite VESA-compatible wall mount, desk mount, or articulating arm (all sold separately). A stand is not included, so a mount is required.

Hi, mzmiranda, you’d have to get some kind of VESA mount on your new iMac…or lower your desk in some way….as far as I know you have to order it with the VESA mount beforehand, as they are all built to order… i don’t know of any aftermarket VESA mounts for the M1 iMac… there’s a youtube video which might be helpful for you ?? ( see link) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-bdSpOs6Ew… it’s called the “mount-macM1” and Vivo makes it.. how well it works i can’t say, as i don’t have a new iMac
