Setting up your workspace
Setting up your workspace
…or setting up your battle station.
When setting up your workspace, whether it's for work or gaming, it's important to prioritize your
safety and health. This means maintaining proper posture, health, and work habits, as well as
setting up an ergonomic workspace with a properly positioned monitor.
Prolonged computer use can cause discomfort, headaches, eyestrain, or physical injury. If you
experience numbness, aching, pain, stiffness, or any recurring or persistent discomfort or pain, take
a break and consider consulting a medical professional.
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.
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 its highest position.
b. Pivot the monitor 90° clockwise or counterclockwise from landscape to portrait orientation.
NOTE
A monitor that is positioned low and reclined might be more comfortable for users with
corrective lenses.
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 or
the stand.
NOTE
If you use the monitor in any orientation other than right-side-up, you can rotate the OSD
menu and joystick controls to match the new orientation. You can learn more about
adjusting the OSD on page 47.
