Quick tips
Feet flat on floor
Your feet should rest flat. If they don't reach, use a footrest rather than raising the chair.
Arms at 90°
Elbows should form a right angle when your hands rest on the keyboard. Adjust armrests to match.
Eyes at screen top
The top of the monitor should be at or just below eye level to keep your neck in a neutral position.

These numbers are guidelines only. Monitor distance is personal — use this as a starting point and adjust to what feels comfortable for your eyes.
Quick tips
When in doubt, an arm's length away
A good rule of thumb — sit back, extend your arm, and your fingertips should just touch the screen.
Bigger screen, sit further back
A larger monitor fills more of your field of view. Sitting too close causes eye fatigue — scale your distance with your screen size.
Trust your eyes
If you find yourself leaning in to read text, increase your font size rather than moving closer to the screen.
