Colebrook Bosson Saunders’ award-winning monitor arm, Flo, is tailored for the evolving workplace, combining temporary aesthetics, ergonomics and a commitment to sustainability.
As workplaces continue to evolve, so does computer monitor technology. Now, more than ever, curved monitors are becoming increasingly common. The best way to create an optimum work station is with a monitor arm – and this is where Colebrook Bosson Saunders, a global leader in ergonomic solutions, comes in. It has relaunched its Flo monitor arm, which offers superior aesthetics and performance for the next generation of monitors.
What is a curved monitor?
Curved monitors were once a rarity, but have gone on to become a familiar sight in many offices. Unlike traditional flat screens, these monitors feature a gentle curve that wraps around the viewer’s field of vision, offering a more natural viewing experience. Advances in display technology have meant reduced image distortion and superior visual clarity, while improvements are constantly being made in screen flexibility, brightness and colour accuracy. With their sleek design and immersive capabilities, curved monitors are becoming increasingly popular among professionals, who choose them for their quality or improved comfort.
What are the benefits?
Repetitive eye strain from long periods at the computer is a growing concern among professionals, so a curved monitor can be particularly beneficial. Curved monitors can help reduce eye strain by matching the natural curvature of the eyes, which allows for more comfortable viewing and reduces the need for excessive eye movement. The curvature of the screen creates a panoramic effect, allowing users to see more of the content without having to constantly shift their gaze or adjust the position of their head. This advantage is valuable for activities such as multitasking or video editing and can help with focus, productivity and overall workflow efficiency.
How to set up an ergonomic workstation
Whether working in a traditional office setting or at home, an ergonomic workstation is a must to maintain comfort and prevent strain or injury, especially if people remain at their desk for extended periods of time. One of the first considerations is monitor height – the top of the monitor screen should be at or just below eye level. Users should be able to look straight ahead at the monitor without tilting their neck up or down, as this can cause neck strain. Adjust the monitor so users can read the screen without leaning forward or straining their eyes – generally, an arm’s length away is a good estimate. Remember to position the monitor away from direct light sources or use anti-glare screens. Glare on monitor screens can cause eye strain, headaches and fatigue. Every 20 minutes, users should look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds to reduce eye strain.
