MONITOR POSITION Unit 4 – Keyboarding: The Symbols Lesson 16
WELCOME! • Unit 4 Unit 4 - Lesson 16 Monitor Position
MONITOR POSITION • Maintain a comfortable viewing distance from the screen. • Most people prefer a viewing distance of around 18 inches to 30 inches, depending on the size of the monitor. • The character and size of the text and the available space on the work surface can affect this distance. Unit 4 - Lesson 16 Monitor Position
SCREEN TEXT • Screen text should be easy to read. • To help relieve eyestrain, adjust text features, such as character size, spacing and color. • In Windows use Desktop Properties>Display Properties to change the window display. • Use monitor controls to adjust visual settings so that the contrast and brightness levels are comfortable. • High contrast with low brightness is usually preferred.
