In the last post I talked about the most important item in your office. This post will be about the second most important item. And just as in the last post it is a key to your future comfort.
The second most important item in your office is the computer monitor.
While your monitor won’t cause physical problems like your chair could. It can cause headaches and other issues which are almost as debilitating. Fortunately, the cost for even a great monitor is much lower than that of the chair.
The key again is to chose the monitor that is best for your needs.
One way to choose is to select the largest LCD monitor you can afford, then buy one size down from that. Why? Because even with LCD monitors there is a loss of sharpness as the screen size increases.
However, a much better method is to view various monitors from the same position and the same angle (and under the same lighting conditions) as you will have in your office. Then select the one that is the sharpest and easiest on the eyes.
In any case, you want to select an LCD monitor which is sharp at the distance you will be reading it. And you want the monitor which makes reading the easiest.
Again, you’ll be spending 4 hours a day (at least) looking at this monitor. Your eyes will thank you if you pick the right monitor.
