I've recently add a pair of ergotron LCD desk monitor brackets to my SO2R setup 
:

.......the best non-radio accessory I've added to my station in a long while!

Just be aware, if using a domestic PC monitor check there's a VESA plate fixing 
on the rear , many of the newer 'home PC monitors' don't have them (in the UK 
at least).
