• Is your monitor positioned in front of you and at a comfortable viewing
distance, about arm’s length? Or if you look at a paper document more than
your monitor, is your document holder in front of you with your monitor to one
side?
• Are the text and images on your monitor easily visible in a comfortably seated
position?
• Have you eliminated glare and bright reflections on your monitor, without
compromising your posture?
• Is your monitor’s entire viewing area located just below your eye height?
• Is your monitor tilted so your face and the monitor are parallel?
• Have you adjusted the brightness and contrast controls to improve the quality
of text and graphics?
• Is your document holder positioned near the monitor, at the same distance,
height, and angle as the monitor?

• Do you avoid resting your wrists on your thighs while typing?
• To avoid neck fatigue when using the computer on a sofa or bed, do you avoid
reclining too far?
