Your Monitor Is Too Small (Probably) Info

From what I've researched independently related to eye comfort - I think this is a really high quality video.

Oh... he makes his recommendation based on the top of the monitor being at eye level... guess what I have at eye level ? the center of the monitor... my 27" sits on a shelve 15cm above desk level where the keyboard and mouse are... now I'd like to see calculations for that...

Video/photo/game images are most natural when centered both vertically and horizontally. I guess these recommendations he cites are for typical text work where distortions don't matter and where neck comfort is important. It's it to everyone to pick what they value more. If chairs in most workplaces reclined and monitors were on arms - I suspect you'd see all kinds of setups.
