Important considerations

The best environment for diagnostic imaging is one with controlled and dimmed ambient light. The human eye's sensitivity depends on the ambient light strength. It is most sensitive to small contrast changes (or subtle image details) at limited ambient light levels.

The best ambient light level, expressed in Lux, depends on the application. An office illumination typically requires 500 Lux. A dimmed environment, like a softcopy room, requires less than 100 Lux.

Using your display in a controlled and dimmed environment also extends its lifetime, because the display can operate at limited brightness and contrast. These levels correspond to the calibrated position in most cases.

A controlled ambient light environment implies the ambient light is as constant as possible. Cover windows to keep out the daylight. Avoid switching the lights and viewing boxes on and off. A consistent environment results in more image consistency and less eye fatigue.

Avoid reflections in the picture tube. Provide indirect lighting. Don't place the displays in front of or close to a light source like a window or viewing box, although this may be very tempting. As a rule of thumb, keep viewing boxes at least one metre (3 feet) away from the displays.
