Eyesight
Working with monitors, in common with any prolonged close work, can be
visually demanding. Look away from the screen periodically and have your
eyesight checked regularly.
Screen settings
Set the screen brightness and contrast to a comfortable level. You may have to
adjust this as the lighting changes during the day. Many application programs let
you select color combinations which can help you to view in comfort. See the
User controls section on page 14 for more information.
