Chapter 2. Adjusting and using your monitor 
This section will give you information on adjusting and using your monitor. 
Comfort and accessibility 
Good ergonomic practice is important to get the most from your personal

you use to suit your individual needs and the kind of work that you perform. In 
addition, use healthy work habits to maximize your performance and comfort 
while using your computer.

We b site at: http://www.ibm.com/pc/ww/healthycomputing 
Arranging your work area 
Use a work surface of appropriate height and available working area to allow you 
to work in comfort. 
Organize your work area to match the way you use materials and equipment. 
Keep your work area clean and clear for the materials that you typically use and 
place the items that you use most frequently, such as the computer mouse or 
telephone, within the easiest reach. 
Equipment layout and setup play a large role in your working posture. The 
following topics describe how to optimize equipment setup to achieve and 
maintain good working posture. 
Positioning and viewing your monitor 
Position and adjust your computer monitor for comfortable viewing by considering 
the following items: 
v   Viewing distance: Optimal viewing distances for monitors range from 
approximately 510mm to 760mm (20 in to 30 in) and can vary depending on 
ambient light and time of day. Yo u can achieve different viewing distances by 
repositioning your monitor or by modifying your posture or chair position. Use 
a viewing distance that is most comfortable for you. 
v   Monitor height: Position the monitor so your head and neck are in a 
comfortable and neutral (vertical, or upright) position. If your monitor does not 
have height adjustments, you might have to place books or other sturdy objects 
under the base of the monitor to achieve the desired height. A general guideline 
is to position the monitor such that the top of the screen is at or slightly below 
your eye-height when 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. 
v   Tilt: Adjust the tilt of your monitor to optimize the appearance of 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. 
The following are some other tips for comfortable viewing of your monitor:
