By Stan Shinn ⋅ January 8, 2007 ⋅ Email this post ⋅ Print this post ⋅ Post a comment

20061218-ergonomic.jpgI’ve used a ergonomic split keyboard for years. But what about monitor positioning? Here are some tips for the ideal monitor setup to help your eyes reduce eyestrain and undue stress on your neck and spine:

  • Eye-to-screen distance: at least 25?, preferably more.
  • Vertical location: viewing area of the monitor between 15° and 50° below horizontal eye level.
  • Monitor tilt: top of the monitor slightly farther from the eyes than the bottom of the monitor.
  • Lighting: ceiling suspended, indirect lighting. Use blinds and shades to control outside light.
  • Screen colors: dark letters on a light background.
