So, long story short, I have vision problems, and I need to work closely with my monitor. So I’d like to have a solution where I can grab my monitor and pull it close to my face for use, and push it back over the desk when I am done with it. I don’t really know what what I’m looking for is called, or if anything like this even exists. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable in the subject than I am can help me out here.
While I am at it, I am hoping to replace my monitor as well. I would like it if the monitor had a harder material on the screen, rather than the fragile feeling plasticy stuff that computer monitors are normally made of, since my nose frequently bumps the screen, resulting in me needing to clean it often.
Once I remove my current monitor, I will have two displayport ports and one HDMI open on my card.
I am hoping to find a solution that costs less than three-thousand dollars. But with niche hardware like this, I understand that it may be more expensive.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Thanks for reading my post and considering helping me out!
Just curious, but have you tried just making things bigger in software? There’s vision accessibility tools tied into all the major OSes.

Otherwise the amazon basics monitor mounts are basically an ergotron clone for way cheaper.
A touchscreen monitor is basically designed to be pushed on, and might be a good option for more resilience
Yeah, I have, and while I can use the computer thanks to this software, I still have to get my face close to the screen to see the stuff on it.
You do bring up a good point with the whole touchscreen thing, I never really thought too much about it, but yeah, I haven’t used a touchscreen since the early 2000s that wasn’t hard. It’s totally worth looking into.
Thanks for the idea!
