Trouble Shooting Guide for Neck Discomfort

Monitor height may be too high or too low

• The top of the screen should be at or slightly below eye level.
• Users with bifocals or progressive lenses may need to lower the monitor slightly to prevent tilting the head backward.

Monitor Alignment

• Align monitor and keyboard directly in front of the user.
• When paper documents are used frequently, they should be placed between the monitor and keyboard using a document holder.

Monitor Distance

• Leaning forward may indicate that the font size or viewing distance requires adjustments
• The recommended viewing distance between the eyes and the screen is approximately arm’s length

Angle of monitor screen tilt is excessive

• Angle the monitor so the screen remains nearly upright or slightly tilt the bottom edge forward for better alignment.
