Air Circulation - IBM 6643 - NetVista X40 - 128 MB RAM User Manual

Where it is impossible to avoid reflections or to adjust the lighting, place an
antiglare filter over the screen. However, these filters might affect the clarity of the
image on the screen; try them only after you have exhausted other methods of
reducing glare. The following illustrates tilting the monitor.
Dust buildup compounds problems associated with glare. Remember to clean
your monitor screen periodically using a soft cloth moistened with a nonabrasive
liquid glass cleaner.

Air circulation

Your computer and monitor produce heat. The computer has a fan that pulls in
fresh air and forces out hot air. The monitor lets hot air escape through vents.
Blocking the air vents can cause overheating, which might result in a malfunction
or damage. Place the computer and monitor so that nothing blocks the air vents;
usually, 51 mm (2 in.) of air space is sufficient. Also, make sure the vented air is
not blowing on someone else.
