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 center 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.
