Display
Most displays feature a variety of adjustments which enable you to set up your equipment in a way most comfortable to you:

• Make sure that you position the screen to minimize glare and reflections from overhead lights, windows and other sources.
• It may be helpful to put an anti-glare filter on the front of the screen when it is impossible to avoid reflections or adjust lighting.
• Adjust the display so that the top of the screen is slightly below eye level for comfortable viewing.
• Position yourself and the display to achieve and maintain a comfortable viewing distance, usually about 20 to 24 inches (50 to 60 cm).
• Keep your head in a comfortable but upright position.
• Set the contrast and brightness of the screen at a comfortable level.
• As the light in the room changes, adjust the contrast and brightness, if necessary.
• Clean your screen, anti-glare filter and eyeglasses on a regular basis.
• Consult your vision care specialist if you experience eye fatigue or discomfort.
