Ergonomic Tips
Correct positioning of your desktop monitor


- Your monitor should be positioned at approximately arm’s length from your usual seated position for visual comfort.
- The top tool bar of the screen should be at approximately the same height as your eyes.
– If it is too low, you may be at risk of developing neck pain from looking down at the screen.
– If it is too high, it can cause both neck pain and eye strain from looking up. - The monitor should be angled vertically to avoid glare on the screen from overhead lighting.
- Your monitor, keyboard and mouse should be positioned directly in front of you on your desktop, in a straight line with your shoulders.
– If you place them on an angle, you are at risk of developing one-sided neck and shoulder pain.
