This section will give you information on adjusting and using your monit\

Comfort and accessibility
Good ergonomic practice is important to get the most from your personal \
computer
and to avoid discomfort. Arrange your workplace and the equipment you use to suit
your individual needs and the kind of work that you perform. In addition\
, use healthy
work habits to maximize your performance and comfort while using your co\
mputer.
For more detailed information on any of these topics, visit the Healthy \
Computing
Web site at: http://www.ibm.com/pc/ww/healthycomputing
Arranging your work area
Use a work surface of appropriate height and available working area to a\
llow you to
work in comfort.
Organize your work area to match the way you use materials and equipment. \
Keep
your work area clean and clear for the materials that you typically use \
and place the
items that you use most frequently, such as the computer mouse or telephone, within
the easiest reach.
Equipment layout and setup play a large role in your working posture. The following
topics describe how to optimize equipment setup to achieve and maintain \
good
working posture.
Positioning and viewing your monitor
Position and adjust your computer monitor for comfortable viewing by con\
sidering
the following items:· Viewing distance : Optimal viewing distances for monitors range from
approximately 510mm to 760mm (20 in to 30 in) and can vary depending o\
n
ambient light and time of day. You can achieve different viewing distances by
repositioning your monitor or by modifying your posture or chair positio\
n. Use a
viewing distance that is most comfortable for you.
· Monitor height : Position the monitor so your head and neck are in a comfortable
and neutral (vertical, or upright) position. If your monitor does not \
have height
adjustments, you might have to place books or other sturdy objects under\
 the base
of the monitor to achieve the desired height. A general guideline is to position the
monitor such that the top of the screen is at or slightly below your eye\
-height
when you are comfortably seated. However, be sure to optimize your monitor
height so the line of site between your eyes and the center the monitor \
suits your
preferences for visual distance and comfortable viewing when your eye mu\
scles
are in a relaxed state.
