Monitor Use
Specifications
• Maintain a comfortable viewing distance to the screen. Most people
prefer a viewing distance of approximately 46 to 76 cm (18 to
30 inches), depending on monitor size. Character size and the amount
of space available on the work surface can affect this distance.
• Text should be easy to read. To help ease eyestrain, adjust text
attributes such as character size, spacing, and color. In addition, you
will need to use the controls provided with your monitor to adjust the
visual settings so that contrast and brightness levels are comfortable
for you. High contrast and low brightness is usually the preferable
combination.
• The monitor should be free from flicker. If the image on your screen is
not stable, the monitor may require repair or adjustment.
• When possible, use a program that has a simple user interface, such as
easily identifiable icons and pull-down menus. Also, screen
information should be displayed in a structured and well-organized
way.
Window
• When viewing your monitor, your head should not be tilted more than
15 degrees forward.
• You should not have to look up more than 5 degrees above horizontal
or down more than 30 degrees below horizontal for normal work tasks,
such as typing or reading.
