| Abstract |
The Screen Checker is intended to provide data on the screen and keyboard features most important for the working environment. It can be used to evaluate existing workstations and to help in the selection of new equipment. Twenty-two parameters are determined: screen size; flicker; positive/negative contrast; sharpness, colour and design of characters; interline distance; image persistance; reflection; screen framing; screen tilt and vertical adjustability; separability of keyboard; hand support; stability; keyboard height, angle, noise and reflectivity; key size and spacing. Nine additional questions for the supplier are given. |
