Chapter 2  Adjusting and using your monitor 

This section will give you information on adjusting and using your monitor. 

Comfort and accessibility 

Good ergonomic practice is important to get the most from your personal computer and to avoid 

discomfort. Arrange your workplace and the equipment you use to suit your individual needs 

and the kind of work that you perform. In addition, use healthy work habits to maximize your 

performance and comfort while using your computer. 

Arranging your work area 

Use a work surface of appropriate height and available working area to allow you to work in 

comfort. 

Organize you work area to match the way you use materials and equipment. Keep your work 

area clean and clear for the materials that you typically use and place the items that you use most 

frequently, such as the computer mouse or telephone, within the easiest reach. 

Equipment layout and setup play a large role in your working posture. The following topics 

describe how to optimize equipment setup to achieve and maintain good working posture. 

Positioning and viewing your monitor 

Position and adjust your computer monitor for comfortable viewing by considering the 

following items: 

● Viewing distance:

 Optimal viewing distances for monitors range from approximately 

510mm to 760mm (20 in to 30 in) and can vary depending on ambient light and time of day. You 

can achieve different viewing distances by repositioning your monitor or by modifying your 

posture or chair position. Use a viewing distance that is most comfortable for you. 

● Monitor height:

 Position the monitor so your head and neck are in a comfortable and neutral 

(vertical, or upright) position. If your monitor does not have height adjustments, you might have 

to place books or other sturdy objects under the base of the monitor to achieve the desired height. 

A general guideline is to position the monitor such that the top of the screen is at or slightly below 

your eye-height when you are comfortably seated. However, be sure to optimize your monitor 

height so the line of site between your eyes and the centre of the monitor suits your preferences 

for visual distance and comfortable viewing when your eye muscles are in a relaxed stated. 

● Tilt : 

Adjust the tilt of your monitor to optimize the appearance of the screen content and to 

accommodate your preferred head and neck posture. 

● General location:

 Position your monitor to avoid glare or reflections on the screen from 

overhead lighting or nearby windows. 

The following are some other tips for comfortable viewing of your monitor: 

Use adequate lighting for the type of work you are performing. 

Use the monitor brightness, contrast, and image adjustment controls, if equipped, to optimize 

the image on your screen to meet your visual preferences. 

Keep your monitor screen clean so you can focus on the screen’s contents. 

Any concentrated and sustained visual activity can be tiring for your eyes. Be sure to periodically 

look away from your monitor screen and focus on a far object to allow your eye muscles to relax. 

If you have questions on eye fatigue or visual discomfort, consult a vision care specialist for 

advice.
