Default Wild stab - Philips 190X7FB monitors

Does anyone have one of these monitors?
I want to buy a couple, but they're not height adjustable, so I want to know how high the display (i.e. not the frame around the display) is above the desk.
I emailed Philips about it and they said they didn't know. I phoned them and they said they didn't know. When pointed out that I wanted to buy a couple of these and I was phoning the Philips consumer information line, they offered to escalate it to their manager, which was good. She phoned back later and said it was 3cm. The pic looked a lot more than that, so when I asked if she was sure, she said it was 4cm. Which is still less than it looks on the pic.

Wondering if anyone has one, and if so, if they could measure it for me. I know it's a wild stab in the dark, but the last time I asked a random question about a picture which was on my school wall when I about 5, I got the name of the picture (and indeed, a JPG of it)!

Thanks very much.

Having looked at the pic in the PDF id does only look like the screens base is about 2 or maybe 3 inches above the desk, cannot find any mention of it being VESA compliant so no idea if you could get a different stand for it

If I was in the market for an LCD I'm not sure I would want something that was only able to run at 1280 x 1024 though

I thought it looked like 4 inches, tho it could be less, which is why I thought their reply of 3cm was unlikely to be accurate.

I've got (or rather, will be getting) a dual-headed graphics card, so I'll have 2x 1280x1024 which is enough screen space for my development needs. I've currently got a 21" IIyama CRT monitor which whilst great, doesn't have enough screen space for what I'm trying to do.
I looked at widescreen monitors and they don't quite have as much screen space as 2 4:3 monitors.
