Anti-Glare Screens

Glare is frequently a problem encountered by computer users. Reflection of ceiling lights or windows in the monitor are the common culprits of glare. Reflection off of light surfaces, such as walls, furniture, clothing, etc., may also cause screen glare. Light fixtures directly above the operator can dim the characters with blurred reflections generated in the phosphor layer, Thus it is preferable to install the light fixtures parallel to and on either side of the computer work station. Repositioning or tilting the work station typically will remove sources of glare from the line of sight. The display screen face should be at right angles to windows and light sources. Window glare can be reduced by using baffles, venetian blinds, draperies, shades, or filters. Walls and work surfaces visible around the screen should be painted a medium color and have a nonreflective finish to limit reflection. Antiglare filters that attach directly to the surface of a VDT screen can help reduce glare.
