The article recommends positioning a computer monitor roughly an arm’s length away to reduce eye strain, fatigue and poor posture. Distance should be adjusted according to screen size, while height and tilt are also important for comfortable, ergonomic viewing.

For a 24-inch display, the suggested distance is 20–28 inches (51–71 cm), rising to 24–32 inches (61–81 cm) for a 27-inch monitor and around 34–38 inches (86–97 cm) for screens of 32 inches or more. The monitor should be centred, with its top at or slightly below eye level, tilted backwards, and paired with suitable brightness; laptop users may need a separate keyboard, mouse and riser.
