Monitor & Screen Setup
Your monitor position controls your neck, shoulders, and eye strain more than almost anything else in your setup. These guides and tips will help you get the screen height, distance, and angle right — whether you use a laptop, a single monitor, or a dual-screen setup.

Quick Monitor Setup Tips
- The top third of the screen should sit at or slightly below eye level
- Keep the screen about an arm’s length away
- Place the primary monitor directly in front of you, not off to the side
- Position the screen perpendicular to windows to avoid glare
- Use a monitor arm or laptop stand so you never bend your neck down
