Adjusting the Monitor Position

Working Practices

This section gives
advice on how you can
work comfortably and reduce
fatigue.
4
Height
Position the monitor so that the top of the screen is slightly below your eye
level when you sit at your workstation.
Orientation
Choose a position that gives the least reflection from lights and windows,
usually at a right angle to any windows. Position the monitor directly in front of
you so that you do not have to twist your body to use it. Tilt the monitor to a
comfortable viewing angle.
Viewing Angle
You can tilt the screen backward and forward and swivel left or right as shown
below.
Rest
Take regular breaks. Vary your posture, stand up and stretch occasionally as
prolonged use of computer workstations can be tiring.
