Setting Up Your
HP Computing
Equipment
Make sure that all the elements of your HP computer system—monitor,
document holder, keyboard, mice and other input devices, and
headphones and speakers—are optimally arranged and adjusted to meet
your personal requirements. The recommendations that follow will help
you achieve this.
Your HP Monitor
It is important that your monitor screen be clean and positioned correctly
to improve readability and help you work comfortably. Glare, high
contrast, reflections, dirt and dust will interfere with what you see on the
screen. The recommendations that follow can help you achieve a
comfortable arrangement.
•
The top of your monitor screen should be at or slightly below eye level.
Most HP monitors come with a tilt-and-swivel feature that makes it
easy to adjust the screen position.
•
To avoid obscuring your view, the screen should be positioned
perpendicular to your line of sight; that is, straight on.
•
To avoid glare or reflection, try to position the monitor so the screen
is at a right angle to your window rather than in front of it. If reflection
or glare persists, tilting the screen forward may help.
