| Not all products labeled " ergonomic " are actually good for you. There are currently no laws or governing bodies overseeing the use of the " ergonomic " label. This means anyone can call any product "ergonomic"-from toasters to baby pins to steam-proof mirrors. As a result, the term has been overused and watered down. Bottom line, ergonomics in the workplace is serious business, and product claims and functions must be backed up by serious research and testing. Ergonomics researchers overwhelmingly agree that the top line of text on a monitor or LCD should be at or slightly below eye level. That's because any portion of the monitor above eye level contributes to neck and shoulder strain. The monitor also should be placed directly in line with the keyboard to minimize twisting of the neck and/or body. Again, maintaining body symmetry is a critical component of healthy work habits. Flat panel monitors have transformed the computing environment. They take up less space and offer better resolution and less glare than CRT monitors. Their greatest advantage is that they can be easily mounted to an adjustable arm, which allows them to be ideally positioned for each individual user. In addition, an adjustable arm keeps the monitor out of the way when it's not needed, and encourages the user to place the monitor in a comfortable viewing position when in use. Featuring effortless adjustment, extreme stability and a sleek look, our full line of monitor arms allow users to easily customize the angle, depth and height of the monitor for maximum benefit. Whatever the application, we're ready— with a host of configuration and mounting options. |
