Chapter 2. Adjusting and using your monitor 
This section will give you information on adjusting and using your monitor. 
 
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 computer. 
 
For more detailed information on any of these topics, visit the Healthy Computing 
Arranging your work area 
Use a work surface of appropriate height and available working area to allow you 
to work in comfort. 
 
Organize you 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 considering 
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 on 
ambient light and time of day. You can achieve different viewing distances by 
repositioning your monitor or by modifying your posture or chair position. 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 muscles are in a relaxed stated. 
●   Tilt : Adjust the tilt of your monitor to optimize the appearance of the screen   
content and to accommodate your preferred head and neck posture. 
●   General location: Position your monitor to avoid glare or reflections on the   
screen from overhead lighting or nearby windows. 
 
The following are some other tips for comfortable viewing of your monitor:

●   Use adequate lighting for the type of work you are performing. 
●   Use the monitor brightness, contrast, and image adjustment controls, if 
equipped, to optimize the image on your screen to meet your visual preferences. 
●   Keep your monitor screen clean so you can focus on the screen’s contents. 
 
Any concentrated and sustained visual activity can be tiring for your eyes. Be sure 
to periodically look away from your monitor screen and focus on a far object to 
allow your eye muscles to relax. If you have questions on eye fatigue or visual 
discomfort, consult a vision care specialist for advice. 
Quick tips for healthy work habits 
The following information is a summary of some important factors to consider to   
help you remain comfortable and productive while you use your computer. 
●   Good posture starts with equipment setup: The layout of your work area and   
the setup of your computer equipment have a large effect on your posture while   
using your computer. Be sure to optimize the position and orientation of your   
equipment by following the tips outlined in “Arranging your work area ” on   
page 2-1 so you can maintain a comfortable and productive posture. Also, be   
sure to use the adjustment capabilities of your computer components and office   
furniture to best suit your preferences now and as your preferences change over   
time. 
●   Minor changes in posture can help avoid discomfort: The longer you sit and   
work in front of your computer, the more important it is to observe your working   
posture. Avoid as summing any one posture for an extended period of time.   
Periodically make minor modifications in your posture to help deter any   
discomforts that might arise. Make use of any adjustments that your office   
furniture or equipment provide to accommodate changes in posture 
●   Short, periodic breaks help ensure healthy computing: Because computing is   
primarily a static activity, it is particularly important to take short breaks from 
your work. Periodically, stand up from your work area, stretch, walk for a drink   
of water, or otherwise take a short break from using your computer. A short   
break from work gives your body a welcome change in posture and helps to   
ensure you remain comfortable and productive while you do work.

Using the ThinkVision Duo (TVD) software control 
In order to use the dual-screen function of the L2321x monitor, your PC system must 
have both VGA and DisplayPort video outputs which must be connected to the monitor 
as detailed on page 1-4. Lenovo recommends the use of the ThinkVision Duo software   
to optimize the dual screen operation as it simplifies the configuration and display of   
both video outputs from your PC. 
If the VGA and DisplayPort outputs from a Lenovo ThinkPad are used in dual output  
mode then the ThinkPad display will be disabled as the ThinkPad graphics sub system   
can only support two display devices simultaneously.
