Positioning Your Monitor
Place the monitor so it is directly in front of you
with the top of the screen slightly below eye level
when you are sitting at the computer. You may want to place it
on top of the computer or on a stand.
Your line of sight to the screen should be about 10 to 20 degrees
below the horizontal. If the monitor has a tilt and swivel base,
you can adjust the position of the screen for the best viewing
angle.
Sit about an arm’s length or more away from the monitor. The
most comfortable viewing distance depends on the size of the
screen characters and your ability to focus on the display.
Adjust the monitor’s brightness and contrast controls to
maximize image clarity, and keep the screen clean.
Try placing any source documents you are using on a copy
stand and position the stand next to the screen at the same eye
level. This reduces neck strain and makes it easier for your eyes
to move back and forth between the document and the screen.
Lighting Your Workspace
Appropriate lighting increases your comfort and
productivity, and it’s good for your eyes.
Arrange your computer and light sources to minimize glare
and bright reflections.
Position the monitor so that any windows in the room face the
sides of the monitor, not the front or back. This will help reduce
glare.
