Do you know how to position the monitor correctly?

Many people spend their working day in front of a computer monitor. However, the human body is not built for prolonged sedentary work or viewing a screen emitting artificial light. Worst of all, poor posture and sitting in an inappropriate way is bad for our health. If we sit badly all day and slouch all the time, over time we are at risk of cervical spine problems, shoulder problems, stiff necks, or pain throughout the spine. That's why we need to make sure that the monitor is positioned correctly, so that it keeps our body in the right position. It should be placed as high up as possible so that our head is as level as possible. This will prevent unpleasant pain behind the neck and in the shoulders. Nowadays it is very popular to use multiple monitors to work simultaneously. If we look closely at a properly equipped office or home desk, we will see that when installing multiple monitors to a single computer, high attention has been paid to the ergonomics of the entire workstation. In such furnished workplaces, we can notice massive brackets on which two or more monitors are mounted flush and directly in front of the computer user. This is the ideal set-up for screens that will not cause neck pain even after sitting for long periods of time, as weMISURA ERG will not have to turn or tilt our heads to the side.

How far away should I place the monitor from my eyes?

As mentioned in the previous paragraph, in addition to the correct height and angle of the monitor, it is important not to forget the distance from the eyes. The external monitor screen should be placed approximately 50 cm from the eyes. To prevent eyestrain, it is advisable to pause work every 20 minutes, get up from the computer and focus your gaze on an object at least 6 metres away, walk around and look at the greenery or the sky in the distance. It only takes a few moments and our eyes will reward us for this little exercise in the long run. A suitable option when working on a computer, and especially with laptops, are ergonomic stands that allow the monitor to be adjusted to the correct height. MISURA has kept all these ergonomic requirements in mind and offers its customers a wide range of different types of stands in the MISURA ERGO section. Just choose according to purpose, price or material composition. So what should be the right way to sit at your computer? One basic and easy to remember rule of right angles applies here - all right angles on the arms and legs.correct sitting positionmisura monitors

How high should the monitor be placed?

It's not just the distance from the monitor that matters. We should also pay attention to the height of the monitor we are working on. In general, the top edge of the monitor should be about the same level as our eyes when working on a laptop or computer. If we wear glasses, the distance still needs to be individually adjusted to the needs and focus of our eyes. An equally important factor is the setting of the monitor and its correct tilt so that light is not reflected off the screen. The head tilt also depends on it, so it is sometimes advisable to tilt the monitor more to avoid hunching the back or tilting the head too far back. If it is not possible to adjust the monitor to the desired height, it is best to mount the laptop on an ergonomic stand, which will allow us to adjust the height and the correct viewing angle. If we do not take care to rotate the monitor correctly, what we have already written about in the previous lines will happen again. Gradually, the muscles in our back and neck would start to stiffen, with other negative health consequences.

Broken monitor display. What to do about it?

The trouble with a broken monitor display probably needs no introduction. One of the most common monitor malfunctions is a defective pixel, which can be recognized by some small areas on the screen being more vibrant or completely black. So-called dead pixels may already be a manufacturing defect, so it's best to contact the store where the monitor was purchased first and file a claim on the item. Another defect in the monitor display may be a line defect, the so-called "Line Defect". This again manifests itself by a horizontal or vertical line appearing across the entire monitor. This defect may not appear immediately, but may take some time to manifest itself and the complaint must be dealt with immediately. It may also happen that we accidentally drop the laptop on the floor and the monitor display cracks. This type of damage is usually not covered by warranties, and when the consumer wants to deal with the repair, they usually find that the repair will cost almost the same as buying a new product. These inconveniences can also be avoided if we buy the equipment from a reputable electronics manufacturer in the first place. A reliable manufacturer offers its customers first-class warranty and after-warranty service, free advice or other benefits.

How not to fall for scammers and buy a fake?

The great success of MISURA monitors in 2023 has also attracted counterfeiters. In January 2023, a search for the MISURA brand on the Allegro web portal showed products that looked identical to those offered by MISURA. Some even bore the same name. The manufacturers of these counterfeits even downloaded photos of the products directly from misura.store, changed the logo in graphic editors and slipped unsuspecting buyers a similar-looking product.It is therefore always important to look carefully at the manufacturer's brand. While the original monitors always carry the MISURA brand name, the following misleading names have so far been found on counterfeit monitors: KKmoon, Cocostore, Liliar and Sophian. The unclear origin of the counterfeits, the poor quality of these products and the non-existent service is what consistently harms customers. Therefore, it is always better to choose a product brand that has been verified by many other customers who have written online reviews on the product in the past. If you are intrigued by MISURA portable monitor technology and are considering buying a new monitor, please be cautious and always buy only products bearing the MISURA logo. This will avoid disappointment over malfunctioning electronics and also many inconveniences.
