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
below eye level.Your eyes should look slightly downward when viewing
the middle of the screen.
• Position your monitor no closer than 16 inches and no further away than
28 inches from your eyes.The optimal distance is 23 inches.
• Rest your eyes periodically by focusing 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 readability.
• Use a document holder placed close to the screen.
• Position whatever you are looking at most of the time (the screen or reference 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).
• Get regular eye checkups.
Ergonomics
To realize the maximum ergonomics benefits, we recommend the following:
• Use the preset Size and Position controls with standard signals
• Use the preset Color Setting
• Use non-interlaced signals with a vertical refresh rate between 60-75Hz
• Do not use primary color blue on a dark background, as it is difficult to see and may produce eye fatigue to
insufficient contrast
