Choosing a good location for your monitor
Here are some key factors to consider when determining where to place your
monitor:
m Be sure that the desk or table can support the monitor’s weight—
approximately 50 pounds.
m Make sure that the power cord and monitor cable will reach from the back
of the monitor to your computer.
m The monitor cable should be unobstructed when you swivel and tilt the
monitor, so allow at least 6 inches of clearance in the back. If you don’t
allow enough clearance, the monitor connector might be damaged when
the cable hits an obstruction.
Positioning the monitor
Once your monitor is in place, either on top of your computer or next to it on
a desk or table, follow these steps:
1 Place the monitor so that the screen faces the user.
2 To slide the monitor, lift the front up slightly and push or pull in the direction you want.
3 Adjust the viewing angle of the monitor by tilting it up or down and turning it left or right
on its stand.
Position the monitor so that when you use it, no bright light is behind the
monitor or reflected on the screen. Your eyes should be about level with the
top edge of the screen and between 18 and 28 inches (45 to 70 cm) away. Take
occasional breaks when using your computer, to focus your eyes on a distant
object.
For your greatest comfort, use the following illustration to help you in
positioning your monitor.
