Ergonomic considerations
Whenever possible, you should attempt to take account of the following ergonomic considerations.
Furniture and posture
Sit in a chair with good back support. Adjust the level of the chair so your feet are flat on the floor. A footrest may make you more comfortable.
Sit in a relaxed, upright posture and avoid slouching forward or leaning far backwards.
Viewing angle of the computer screen
Use the screen tilting feature to find the best position. Make sure the computer screen is at or slightly below eye level when you are sitting in front of your VAIO computer. Adjust the brightness level of the display as well.
You can reduce eye strain and muscle fatigue by adjusting the tilt and brightness level of the computer screen to the proper position.
Lighting
Choose a location where windows and lights do not cause glare and reflection on the computer screen. Use indirect lighting to avoid bright spots on the computer screen. Proper lighting adds to your comfort and work efficiency.
Note
While adjusting the viewing angle, do not exert excessive pressure on your VAIO computer to eliminate a risk of mechanical damage.
Hint
The same considerations apply when you use an external display.
