Setting up your workspace
SETTING UP YOUR
WORKSPACE
…or setting up your battle station. Whether you’re hard at work or clicking heads, it’s important
to stay safe and healthy. That includes maintaining proper posture, health, and work habits. And
of course, an ergonomic workspace with a properly set up monitor.
Prolonged use of computers may lead to discomfort, headaches, eyestrain, or even physical
injury. If at any time while using your computer you experience numbness, aching, pain, stiffness,
or any recurring or persistent discomfort or pain, stop what you are doing and consider
consulting a medical professional.
STAY ACTIVE
Of course, it’s best to avoid all that. So be sure to take regular short breaks. Go outside and
breathe some fresh air. Stretch, exercise, and take care of your body. Not only will it help keep
you in good health, but it can also even improve your creativity, alertness, and reflexes. And that
comes in handy whether your goal is a promotion or a better K/D/A ratio.
ADJUST YOUR MONITOR
1. Adjust the monitor’s height to a comfortable position for your individual workstation. The
monitor’s top bezel edge should not exceed a height that is parallel to your eye height.
NOTE: A monitor that is positioned low and reclined might be more
comfortable for users with corrective lenses.
2. Tilt the monitor forward or backward to set it to a comfortable eye level.
3. Using the Spectrum Stand or select VESA monitor mounts, you can pivot the monitor from
landscape to portrait orientation. This lets you adapt the layout of your screen to your
applications.
When using the Spectrum Stand:
a. Adjust the monitor to full height position.
b. Pivot the monitor 90° clockwise or counterclockwise from landscape to portrait orientation.
IMPORTANT: If the monitor is not in full height position when pivoting, the
bottom corner of the monitor panel will come in contact with the base and
potentially cause damage to the monitor.
