Keytools recommends that your document should be in line with the monitor and that posture should remain the same all the time. Read our advice on ergonomic document holders and find out how to buy them.

The document should be in line with the monitor. This means you do not have to twist your neck or lean forward to read the document, and you can retain the same posture all the time. An alternative to the traditional document holder in the MicroDesk, a clear acrylic sloping writing surface with non-slip feet, designed to hold paperwork directly in front of you - it also fits neatly over your keyboard. This avoids the need to twist to one side or stretch to reach papers.

Screen Filters
Find out where the glare is coming from; if you are unsure, place a mirror in front of the monitor at the same angle. If there is a glare coming from a window, it should have blinds or curtains that you can close at the critical time of day. If it is coming from a light, see if it can be turned off (without reducing the light level in your office too much) or moved; if this is not possible, consider moving your desk. Do not turn or move your monitor without moving your desk; this will mean you will be viewing the monitor at an angle, putting strain on your back or neck. Keytools sell screen filters to help eliminate glare.
