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. For more detailed information on 

any of these topics, visit the Healthy Computing Web site at: 

http://www.lenovo.com/healthycomputing/. 

Arranging your work area 

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

comfort. 
Organize your 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 your monitor 

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

following items: 

  

Recommended viewing distance between the eye and the monitor screen is 1.5 x the 

diagonal of the screen. Solutions in meeting this required distance in cramped office 

situations include pulling desk away from wall or divider to make room for monitor, using 

flat panel or compact displays placing the monitor in the desk corner, or placing the 

keyboard in an adjustable drawer to create a deeper working surface. 

  

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 center the monitor suits your preferences for visual distance and comfortable 

viewing when your eye muscles are in a relaxed state. 

  

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.
