Screen tilt

The screen should be tilted so the user’s line of sight is perpendicular to the
screen. This angle creates the most consistent viewing distance when scanning
from the top of the screen to the bottom. You may need to adjust lighting to
avoid screen glare when the screen is tilted upward.

Screen distance from user

The display screen should first be placed at arms length from the user, then
adjusted back and forth to suit individual preference.

Stand adjustment forces

The force required to make any adjustment to the stand (height, tilt, pan, or
portrait/landscape orientation) should not exceed 5.1 lbs. (2.32 kg).
