Monitor Arms & Accessories — Expert Answer
What is the recommended viewing distance when using a monitor arm?
The recommended monitor viewing distance for office computer work is approximately 20"–40" from the user's eyes to the screen, with the most ergonomically supported range being 24"–30" (arm's length). This distance varies with monitor size: larger monitors (27"+) should be positioned at the farther end of the range (28"–36") since the screen's total content area is larger. The monitor arm's reach should be long enough to position the screen at the user's preferred distance. When the arm is at full retraction, the monitor should not be closer than 18" to the user.
