I do this too, though mostly out of necessity. I use a 27" screen a couple feet away. To get the top of the monitor level with my eyes I'd either have to lower it so the bottom of the monitor was almost flush with the desk (which my current monitor's stand won't do anyway), or get a taller chair/lower my desk, both of which would leave my legs rubbing up against the desk underside and my arms at an uncomfortable angle for typing.

Either I have an abnormally short torso, or that advice was written back when most people were using a 14" display.

I switched to a VESA arm so I can put the bottom of the monitor flush with the desk and leaned back at a bit of an angle. It’s fantastic.
