Most of the 20inch monitors have similar dimensions, mostly thanks to short stand (part between base and panel itself). Because of that it is not easy to achieve ergonomically right height, if you don't have worktable with raised stand or mount solution for monitor. Samsung 2053BW shares same faults with its competitors but it also has few advantages. Base has swivel option that allows this monitor to be rotated around vertical axis. Construction details cannot be discovered (it's sealed in plastic casing) but we assume that it's not that complicated and expensive solution..
