Lighting

reduce eyestrain.

Position the display panel or external monitor so that
sunlight or bright indoor lighting does not reflect off the
screen. Use tinted windows or shades to reduce glare.

Avoid placing your computer in front of a bright light that
shines directly into your eyes.

If possible, use soft, indirect lighting in your computer
work area.
Your LCD display has a brightness approaching that of a TV
device. We recommend that you adjust the brightness of your
LCD to a comfortable level to prevent possible strain on your
eyes.
