| 438493 | 2006-03-16 01:28:00 | Pull the curtains, and turn off the lights. You can get antiglare filters for CRTs. Some are expensive and use polarising medium between glass plates. They add a couple more dust-collecting surfaces. Much cheaper are the ones which are just a black mesh. They work quite well, but you do lose some screen brightness. |

| 438494 | 2006-03-16 02:28:00 | 3m Makes nice antiglare filter, but very pricey. I've also seen "hoods" which are basically that, a piece of large plastic bent around a monitor. | kingdragonfly (309) | ||
| 438495 | 2006-03-16 04:29:00 | I am getting so annoyed with this screen reflection. Philips 109B6 CRT. How can I reduce it? What exactly is reflecting? You may need to reorganise your lighting, or if it is a window reflecting, rearrange the location of your monitor/computer. Monitor screens have a flat non-reflective surface while anti-glare screens usually have a normal "glass" surface and will be even more reflective than your monitor. Compare the reflectivity of your monitor with that of your TV screen and you will see what I mean. More info and a good description of your environment would help. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 438496 | 2006-03-18 07:37:00 | Ok, I have no particularly bright lights in the room. I have one light about a meter behind me in the roof. I think it is pretty even lighting. By reflection I mean I can look and see the room behind me. But only at day time. I do have all the windows covered by blinds though. drcspy, where you serious about the sandpaper? Don't have a tv screen to compare it with |

| 438497 | 2006-03-18 08:45:00 | drcspy, where you serious about the sandpaper? No, he wasn't . :eek: If you have bright light behind you, even the most non-reflective of screens will show some reflection . The best solution is to turn your installation through 180 degrees, but I guess that may not be practicable . Don't waste money on anti-glare screens, they are intended to reduce glare from the monitor and will just make matters worse . Blocking out the windows better might help, or you can try adjusting the vertical tilt of your screen a little, pointing it a bit higher or lower may shift the reflections . . Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 438498 | 2006-03-18 10:00:00 | Forget about anti-glare filters. Just reposition your workspace. | Greg (193) | ||
| 438499 | 2006-03-18 10:50:00 | repositioning is not an option. Vertical tilt might do it, thanks for that suggestion, never thought of it. |
