510 mm
to
760 mm
(20
in
to
30
in)
and
can

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
state.

Adjust
the
tilt
of
your
monitor
to
optimize

the
screen
content
and
to
accommodate
your
preferred
head
and
neck
posture.
v
General
location:
Position
your
monitor
to
avoid
glare
or
reflections
on
the
screen
from
overhead
lighting
or
nearby
windows.
