Choosing a good location for your monitor

Here are some key factors to consider when determining where to place your monitor:

mBe sure that the desk or table can support the monitor’s weight— approximately 30 pounds.

mMake sure that the power cord will reach an available AC outlet.

mMake sure the monitor cable will reach from the back of the monitor to your computer. 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.
