IMPORTANT When you unpack or move the monitor, don’t set the monitor down at an angle; you might damage the monitor stand.

Once your monitor is in place on a desk or table, follow these steps:

Place the monitor so the screen faces the user.

To slide the monitor, lift the front up slightly and push or pull in the direction you want.

Adjust the viewing angle of the monitor by tilting it up or down and turning it left or right on its stand.

Shoulders relaxed

Forearms and hands in a straight line

Forearms level or tilted up slightly

Lower back supported

Thighs horizontal

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.

45–70 cm (18–28 in.)

Top of the screen at or slightly below eye level (You may need to adjust the height of your monitor by placing something under it or by raising your work surface.)

Screen positioned to avoid reflected glare

Clearance under work surface
