Ergonomic Correct Monitor Height
Posted by William
Potential Ergonomic Hazard
A display screen that is too high or low will cause you to work with your head, neck, shoulders, and even your back in an awkward ergonomically position When the monitor is too high, for example, you have to work with your head and neck tilted back. Working in these awkward postures for a prolonged period fatigues the muscles that support the head.
Correct Ergonomic Solutions
The top of the monitor should be at or slightly below eye level. The center of the computer monitor should normally be located 15 to 20 degrees below horizontal eye level .
The entire visual area of the display screen should be located so the downward viewing angle is never greater than 60 degrees when you are in a correct seating position. In the reclining posture the straight forward line of sight will not be parallel with the floor, which may increase the downward viewing angle. Using very large monitors also may increase the angle.
Remove some or all of the equipment (CPU, surge protector, etc.) on which the monitor may be placed. Generally, placing the monitor on top of the CPU will raise it too high for all but the tallest users.
Elevate your line of site by raising your chair. Be sure that you have adequate space for your thighs under the desk and that your feet are supported.
