Working Posture
Appropriate working position helps minimize eye discomfort. Seating position and
ideal placement of monitor are essential for a comfortable working experience.
Placing the monitor too far or too close may lead to eye strain. Far viewing distance
causes users to lean forward to see small texts, which strain the eyes and torso. Close
viewing distance, on the other hand, strains the eye resulting from exerting more
effort to focus and also causes the user to sit in awkward body posture (i.e. tilting the
head, typing with outstretched arms, etc.)
Recommended viewing distance between the eye and the monitor screen is 1.5 x the
diagonal of the screen. Solutions in meeting this required distance in cramped office
situations include pulling desk away from wall or divider to make room for monitor,
using flat panel or compact displays placing the monitor in the desk corner, or
placing the keyboard in an adjustable drawer to create a deeper working surface.
ThinkVision monitors are design to maximize work space (e.g. having thin profiles,
compatible for ThinkCentre Tiny back mount, practical cable management, etc).
