MONITOR
Most displays
feature a variety of adjustments which enable you to set up your
equipment in a way most comfortable to you.
|
- Make sure that
you position the screen to minimize glare and reflections
from overhead lights, windows and other sources.
- It may be helpful
to put an anti-glare filter on the front of the screen when
it is impossible to avoid reflections or adjust lighting.
- Position yourself
and the display to achieve and maintain a comfortable viewing
distance, usually about an arm’s length away.
- Set the contrast
and brightness of the screen at a comfortable level to decrease
eye strain.
- As the light
in the room changes, adjust the contrast and brightness,
if necessary.
- Clean your screen,
anti-glare filter and eyeglasses (if you wear them) on a
regular basis.

- Consult your
vision care specialist if you experience eye fatigue or
discomfort.
- To determine
the correct height of the monitor, look in the middle
of the screen:
- If your
head is angled up, then the monitor is too high and
should be lowered. The monitor can be tilted down
if it is just a slight adjustment. However, it may
be necessary to remove the hard drive or “SurgeMaster”
from underneath the monitor and place directly on
the work surface.
- If your
head is tilting down then the monitor is too low and
should be raised.
- If there
is noticeable glare on your monitor try to locate the
source.
- If it
is a window see if adjusting the blinds removes the
glare.
- If it
is due to overhead lighting tilting the monitor slightly
may correct the problem.
- It may
be beneficial to relocate the monitor or place a glare
screen on it.
