3 Working in Comfort
16 English
• Maintain a comfortable viewing distance to the screen. Most people prefer
a viewing distance of approximately 46 to 76 cm (18 to 30 inches),
depending on monitor size. Character size and the amount of space
available on the work surface can affect this distance.
• Text should be easy to read. To help ease eyestrain, adjust text attributes
such as character size, spacing, and color. In addition, you will need to use
the controls provided with your monitor to adjust the visual settings so that
contrast and brightness levels are comfortable for you. High contrast and
low brightness is usually the preferable combination.
• The monitor should be free from flicker. If the image on your screen is not
stable, the monitor may require repair or adjustment.
• When possible, use a program that has a simple user interface, such as
easily identifiable icons and pull-down menus. Also, screen information
should be displayed in a structured and well-organized way.
