Thought side is also a no. You don't want your head cranked downward.
The guidelines in Germany say the first line of the screen should be 10cm (4 ½in) below your eyes. I find that uncomfortable, too.
I like it when the first line is 5 - 10 cm above my eyes.
Screens have grown bigger.
What is the “first line” of a screen?
I'm guessing, but it would logically follow that this is a callback to when computers used text-based interfaces. The old 80x25 character resolution.
So the "first line" is the top 1/25th of the viewable screen (4%).
A complete guess from me. I've been using computers since the late 80s and this is a new term to me too.
