on what you should
consider before you set up your
monitor.
Height
Position the monitor so that the top of the screen is slightly below your eye
level when you sit at your workstation.
Orientation
Choose a position that gives the least reflection from lights and windows,
usually at a right angle to any windows. Position the monitor directly in front of
you so that you do not have to twist your body to use it. Tilt the monitor to a
comfortable viewing angle.
Adjusting the Monitor Position
Viewing Angle
You can tilt the screen backward and forward and swivel left or right as shown
below.
Working Practices
This section gives
advice on how you can
work comfortably and reduce
fatigue.

Rest
Take regular breaks. Vary your posture, stand up and stretch occasionally as
prolonged use of computer workstations can be tiring.
Back
Sit back in your chair and use the backrest.
Hands
Adjust the seat height so that your forearms are approximately horizontal and
your wrists are straight when using the keyboard. Your upper arms should be
relaxed with your elbows near your body.
Use a light touch on the keyboard, keeping your hands and fingers relaxed.
Allow a space in front of the keyboard to rest your wrists when not typing.
Consider using a wristpad.
ENGLISHFRANÇAISESPAÑOLITALIANOJAPANESECOMPL & WARR
Eyesight
Working with monitors, in common with any prolonged close work, can be
visually demanding. Look away from the screen periodically and have your
eyesight checked regularly.
Screen settings
Set the screen brightness and contrast to a comfortable level. You may have
to adjust this as the lighting changes during the day. Many application
programs let you select color combinations which can help you to view in
comfort. See the User controls section on page 18 for more information.
Caring for your Monitor
Be sure to turn off the power before you perform any maintenance on the
monitor. Clean your monitor as follows:
• Gently wipe the device covers and the screen with a soft cloth.
• Remove finger marks and grease with a damp cloth and mild detergent;
do not use solvents or abrasives

Further Information
Display modes
The display mode the monitor uses is controlled by the computer. Therefore,
refer to your computer documentation for details on how to change display
modes.
The image size, position and shape might change when the display mode
changes. This is normal and the image can be readjusted using
and the monitor controls.
Unlike CRT monitors, which require a high refresh rate to minimize flicker,
TFT technology is inherently flicker-free. If possible, configure your computer
for 1280 × 1024 addressability at 60Hz vertical refresh rate.
For the display modes listed on the next page, the screen image has been
optimized during manufacture.

Power Management
ENGLISHFRANÇAISESPAÑOLITALIANOJAPANESECOMPL & WARR
If your computer has
previously been used
with a CRT monitor and is
currently configured to a
display mode outside the
range that the Flat Panel
monitor can display, you
may need to re-attach the
CRT monitor temporarily
until you have re-configured
the computer, preferably to
1280 x 1024 at 60Hz.
To benefit from power management, the monitor must be used in conjunction
with a computer that implements the Video Electronics Standards Association
(VESA) Display Power Management Signalling (DPMS) Standard.
The power management feature is invoked when the computer recognizes
that you have not used your mouse or keyboard for a user-definable period.
There are several states as described in the table below.

As an
ENERGY STAR
®
®
Partner, IBM has determined that this product meets the
guidelines for energy efficiency.
For optimal performance, you switch off your monitor at the end of each
working day, or whenever you expect to leave it unused for long periods
during the day.

The LCD contains over 3,900,000 thin-

missing, discolored, or lighted dots may be
present on the screen, which is an intrinsic
characteristic of the TFT LCD technology
and is not an LCD defect.
