5 Using touch technology

Using a touch-enabled monitor and all-in-one product

Touch technology is great when you want to interact directly with objects on the screen. When using touch, you need to be especially attentive to the comfort of your neck, shoulders, and arms. Remember, there is no one monitor placement that can keep all body parts happy at all times, especially when using touch.

Follow these touchscreen guidelines:

For arm comfort, place the touchscreen closer than you would a non-touchscreen. It should be much closer than arm’s length.

For shoulder and arm comfort, place the screen lower.

Use the tilt feature to align your forearms, wrists, and hands in a straight, neutral position. If you begin to experience neck fatigue, raise the screen. Each time you adjust the screen height, consider readjusting the tilt to keep your wrists in a neutral position.
