I'd emphasize more that the screen heights should be adjustable. I recently after moving houses had quite severe neck and shoulder pains. It took me longer than I liked to realise the cause of this, and then spent a week or so experimenting with differing monitor heights. I've got a Dell 24" with adjustable height. Unfortunately, I found the problem was the lowest setting on the Dell was too high, I countered this by putting the stand on a shelf underneath the desk (this shelf is like a keyboard tray on the front, but fixed and towards the rear of the desk but still underneath it). I found that the greater distance from the screen, and the screen being lower has greatly alleviated the pain, and reduced eye strain that I hadn't realised was there. Currently the top bevel of the monitor is in line with my eyes and almost a metre away. Next time I rearrange my bedroom/office I'll likely get one of those adjustable vesa wall mounts - pricey, but worth it.
