Monitors

Primary considerations:

• Is your monitor more-or-less in front of your keyboard rather than off to the side?
• Is the viewing distance to your computer monitor at between 18 and 28 inches?
• Is the top of the computer screen below eye level?
• Is your computer monitor protected from excess glare?
• Is your monitor screen more-or-less perpendicular to your normal line-of-sight?
• If you wear bifocals or trifocals, are you able to look at the monitor without tilting your head backward?

Other considerations:

• If you feel as though your monitor is too close but you cannot “get away” from it, install a keyboard tray and/or pull the desk out from the wall - letting the monitor “hang” over the back of the worksurface.
