CORRECT PLACEMENT AND ADJUSTMENT OF THE MONITOR
CAN REDUCE EYE, SHOULDER AND NECK FATIGUE. CHECK THE
FOLLOWING WHEN YOU POSITION THE MONITOR:
• For optimum performance, allow 20 minutes for
warm-up.
• Adjust the monitor height so that the top of the
screen is at or slightly below
eye level. Your eyes should look slightly downward
when viewing the middle
of the screen.
• Position your monitor no closer than 16 inches and
no further away than 28 inches from your eyes. The
optimal distance is 21 inches for the MultiSync
LCD /LCD
™
1510 1510V
monitor.
• Rest your eyes periodically by focusing on an object at least 20 feet away.
Blink often.
• Position the monitor at a 90 angle to windows and other light sources to
minimize glare and reflections. Adjust the monitor tilt so that ceiling lights do
not reflect on your screen.
• If reflected light makes it hard for you to see your screen, use an anti-glare filter.
• Clean the LCD monitor surface with a lint-free, non-abrasive cloth. Avoid using
any cleaning solution or glass cleaner!
• Adjust the monitor's brightness and contrast controls to enhance readability.
• Use a document holder placed close to the screen.
• Position whatever you are looking at most of the time (the screen or
reference material) directly in front of you to minimize turning your head
while you are typing.
• Avoid displaying fixed patterns on the monitor for long periods of time to avoid
image persistence (after-image effects).
• Get regular eye checkups.
Ergonomics
To realize the maximum ergonomics benefits, we recommend the following:
• Do not position the Contrast control to its maximum setting
• Use the preset Size and Position controls with standard signals
• Use the preset Color Setting and Sides Left/Right controls
• Use non-interlaced signals with a vertical refresh rate between 60-75Hz
• Do not use primary color blue on a dark background, as it is difficult to see and
may produce eye fatigue to insufficient contrast
