Ergonomic Precautions
Correct placement and adjustment of the
monitor can reduce eye, shoulder, and
neck fatigue. Check the following when
you position the monitor:
For optimum performance, allow 20
minutes for warm-up.
Adjust the monitor height so that the
top of the screen is at, or slightly be-
low eye level. Your eyes should look
slightly downward when viewing the
middle of the screen.
Position your monitor no closer than
40 cm and no further away than 70
cm from your eyes. The optimal dis-
tance is 50 cm.
Rest your eyes periodically by fo-
cusing on an object at least 20 feet
away. Blink often.
Position the monitor at a 90° angle
to windows and other light sources
to minimize glare and reflections.
Adjust the monitor tilt so that ceiling
lights do not reflect on your screen.
If reflected light makes it hard for you
to see your screen, use an anti-glare
filter.
Clean the LCD monitor surface with
a lint-free, non-abrasive cloth. Avoid
using any cleaning solution or
glass cleaner.
Adjust the monitor’s brightness and
contrast controls to enhance read-
ability.
Use a document holder placed close
to the screen.
Position whatever you are looking at
most of the time (the screen or refer-
ence material) directly in front of you
to minimize turning your head while
you are typing.
Avoid displaying fixed patterns on the
monitor for long periods of time to
avoid image persistence (after-image
effects).
To maximize ergonomic benefits, we
recommend the following:
Adjust the brightness until the back-
ground raster disappears.
Do not position the contrast control
to its maximum setting.
Use the preset size and position con-
trols with standard signals.
Use the preset color setting.
Use non-interlaced signals with a
vertical refresh rate between 60-75
Hz.
Do not use primary color blue on a
dark background, as it is difficult to
see and may produce eye fatigue
due to insufficient contrast.
