Comfort and accessibility

Good ergonomic practice is important to get the most from your personal computer and to avoid discomfort.

In addition, use healthy work habits to maximize your performance and comfort while using your computer. For more detailed information on any of these topics, visit the Healthy Computing Web site at: http://www.lenovo.com/healthycomputing/.

Position and adjust your computer monitor for comfortable viewing by considering the following items:

- Viewing distance: Optimal viewing distances for monitors range from approximately 510 mm to 760 mm (20 in to 30 in) and can vary depending on ambient light and time of day. You can achieve different viewing distances by repositioning your monitor or by modifying your posture or chair position. Use a viewing distance that is most comfortable for you.

• Monitor height: Position the monitor so your head and neck are in a comfortable and neutral

Selecting a supported display mode

The display mode of the monitor uses is controlled by the computer. Therefore, refer to your computer documentation on how to change display modes.

The image size, position and shape might be changed when the display mode changes. This is normal and the image can be re-adjusted using automatic image setup and the image controls. Unlike CRT monitors, which require a high refresh rate to minimize flicker, LCD or Flat Panel technology is inherently flicker-free.

Note: If your system has previously been used with a CRT monitor and is currently configured to a display mode outside the range of this monitor, you may need to reattach the CRT monitor temporarily until you have re-configured the system; preferably to 1920 x 1080 at 60 Hz, which is a common display mode.

The display modes shown below have been optimized at the factory.
