Adjusting The Stand - Gateway MW19 User Manual

CHAPTER 1: Using Your Gateway Flat-Panel Monitor

Adjusting the stand

Ergonomic guidelines
The recommended screen positioning is based upon the following guildelines. These guidelines are
based on available scientific literature and published standards.
Screen height
The recommended screen height for displays (except in special circumstances, such as for bifocal
use) is that the top of the display should be set at or slightly below (about 1 inch or 25 mm) your
eye level while you are sitting in a comfortable working posture. This guideline places the center
of the screen at an ideal 15° to 20° viewing angle for most desktop displays. If the display has
multiple users, the screen height should be easily adjustable to accommodate each user's height
and preference. The stand can be adjusted to a maximum height of 110 mm.
Swivel screen
The screen should be turned so that your line of sight is perpendicular to the screen. The screen
can be swivelled up to 35° to the left or right.
Screen rotation
The screen can be rotated so your contents fit the screen better. The screen can be rotated up to
90° clockwise.
Screen tilt
The screen should be tilted so your line of sight is perpendicular to the screen. This angle creates
the most consistent viewing distance when scanning from the top of the screen to the bottom. You
may need to adjust lighting to avoid screen glare when the screen is tilted upward.
Screen distance from user
The screen should first be placed at arm's length from the user, then adjusted back and forth to
suit individual preference.
