User Comfort Recommendations
The following are some tips for comfortable viewing of your monitor: � Optimal viewing distances for monitors range from approximately
510 mm to 760 mm (20" to 30"). � 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. � Use adequate lighting for the type of work you are performing. � Take regular and frequent breaks (at least for 10 minutes) every halfhour. � Be sure to periodically look away from your monitor screen and focus on a far object for at least 20 seconds during the breaks. � Eye exercise can help reduce eye strain. Repeat these exercises frequently: (1) look up and down (2) slowly roll your eye (3) move your eyes diagonally.
