Monitor User’s Manual
User Comfort Recommendations
The following are some tips for comfortable viewing of your monitor:
•Optimal viewing distances for monitors range from approximately
152cm to 244 cm (5 feet to 8 feet).
•A general guideline is to position the monitor such that the top
of the screen is at or slightly below your eye-height when you are
comfortably seated.
•Use adequate lighting for the type of work you are performing.
•Take regular and frequent breaks (at least for 10 minutes) every 30
minutes.
•Be sure to periodically look away from your monitor screen and focus
on a far object for at least 20 seconds during the breaks.
•Eye exercise can help reduce eye strain. Repeat these exercises
frequently: (1) look up and down (2) slowly roll your eye (3) move
your eyes diagonally.
