m Position the mouse at the same height as your keyboard. Allow adequate space to use the
mouse comfortably.
m Arrange the monitor so the top of the screen is slightly below your eye level when you’re
sitting at the keyboard. The best distance from your eyes to the screen is up to you,
although most people seem to prefer 18 to 28 inches (45 to 70 cm).
m Position the monitor to minimize glare and reflections on the screen from overhead lights
and nearby windows. You may want to use a tiltable monitor stand. The stand lets you set
the monitor at the best angle for viewing, helping to reduce or eliminate glare from
lighting sources you can’t move.
