Dell Monitor Ergonomics Recommendations

This video demonstrates the best practices in monitor ergonomics for users, IT buyers and facilities managers.

Recommendations for monitor ergonomics. For users, IT buyers, and facilities managers. Help make the workplace more comfortable and productive with an optimized ergonomic monitor setup — whether at home or in the office. 1: Viewing distance.

The distance between the user and the top of the monitor. Recommended minimum viewing distance of 500 mm to help avoid possible discomfort and loss of productivity. 2: Font size. Recommended font size at the center of the screen for user with perfect vision: 10pt. 11pt. 12pt.

As more content moves to the edges of the screen, the font size must be increased compared to the center of the screen. Use Dell Easy Arrange to tile multiple applications across one or more screens, with 38 pre-set layouts and up to 5 custom layouts. www.dell.com/ddm.

3: Eye and head movement. Vertical eye and head movement. Recommendations for vertical viewing range options: Place monitor at recommended viewing distance and tilt to an appropriate angle. No head movement is recommended for vertical viewing. Keep center of monitor at normal eye level.

Easy eye movement is considered to be 15° above and below the normal eye level. Horizontal eye and head movement. Considerations for horizontal viewing range: Single monitor: Eye movement: Optimum 15° to the left and right of center. Single monitor: Eye movement: Maximum 35° to the left and right of center. Dual monitors: Head movement: Optimum 45° to the left and right of center. Dual monitors: Head movement: Maximum 60° to the left and right of center.

A Dell monitor for every setup. Explore four different monitor configurations along with some ergonomic recommendations. A 27-inch standard monitor used in landscape configuration. All monitor recommendations are based on a monitor setting with the screen not tilted, and the assumption that the user is in a seated position.

A 34-inch curved monitor used in landscape configuration. Dual 24-inch standard monitors used in landscape configuration with no angle between them.

A 24-inch standard monitor used in portrait configuration. Ideal work postures to help optimize comfort. Stand with slightly bent knee. Sit upright with proper support. Recline slightly (100-110° between torso and thighs). Avoid leaning forward.

Take a break every 30-40 minutes to move around. IOM. Dell Technologies.
