Screens should be placed between rows of lights, rather than under them. Strip lights and windows should be at right angles to the screen face.
Curtains or blinds should be provided and used where sunlight may cause screen glare.
Adjust the top of the visual display screen so as it is located just below the level of the operators' eyes.
Have a read of this, might help you more:

You should also consider that the glare may be due to the brightness settings of the screen. Try adjusting them.
If the glare comes from an external source, such as overhead lights, make sure that the screens do not tilt upwards by having the screens at the right height for the operator (as stated in Sharon's reply).
If the glare is from windows, try to position the screens so that the windows are to the side and not in front of or behind the operator.
If you have a mixture of polished and matt screens which have anti-glare incorporated in them, try swopping screens around.
If you continue to experience problems, e-mail me direct and I may be able to arrange further help.

Kevin, we have just had our monitors replaced with flat screens as part of an IT upgrade... I'd say 90% of glare has been dealt with. I'm not saying this is the cheapest option but it is very effective!
I also agree with the other suggestions...
Regards
Steve.

I think it's in the region of £60 to £70 now for a flat screen and generally speaking they are glare free - there are always exceptions of course!!!!

Hi Kevin,
Took a bit of effort to read your message 'cos the light shines on my screen... Seriously, agree with all comments so far, just a quick note if you decide to go for anti-glare filters. These come in all sorts of flavours and are often sold with extravagent marketing; buy a cheap one is what I'd say, they work just as well as the expensive ones in my experience,
John

I have recently moved to a lovely sunny office, couldn't even see my screen let alone read it. My friendly IT Manager gave me a flat screen and it is a miracle, completely glare free.

'Glare' is what comes from the screen itself - intensity, brightness, white pages etc. Very few modern PCs have problems which can't be adjusted away.
'Reflection' is just that - reflected light on a screen from another source - sun, windows, overhead lights etc.
Most "anti-glare" filters can reduce glare - as do sunglasses. However, as they are usually made of reflective glass themselves, they rarely - and I'm being kind - have any reducing effect at all on reflection, which is the most common and more challenging problem.
For some mysterious reason, most people have their CRT monitors tilted slightly upwards, which is far more likely to pick up reflections form overhead. The newer LCD flat panel monitors have a very matt surface rather than the shiny glass of a CRT, but - even more effective - hardly anyone has them tilted upwards either! hence - no reflections. These screen have less of an optimum viewing angle, so users tend to find the vertical face is the clearest right from the start.

If a screen is tilted slightly up then providing the user is sat at eye level to the top of the screen it will help to ensure that the screen is the same distance away from the user's eyes both at the top and the bottom of the screen.
This will help prevent the eyes from changing focus as their vision moves from the top of the screen to the bottom.
However reflections are generally the greater of the two evils, therefore if someone is suffering from reflection from an overhead light source then the screen should be adjusted.
Oh and +1 for screen filters being a waste of space, let alone money.....
Try to remove the source of the problem (ie blinds on windows/diffusers on lighting etc) rather than attempt to deal with the problem on the screen.
