Is the monitor the problem or is it the level of lighting? Surely cheaper and as effectice to take turn a light off or if not possible remove a light bulb/tube. This is very effective in my working environment. SOS

I wasn't aware that any of the modern flatscreen monitors had any noticable glare. Have you tried adjusting the settings to change the background colour of the programs from white to a light pastel colour? It takes getting used to but makes the world of difference.

'Glare' is (or used to be in the old CRT days) the 'issue from' the monitor, and adjusted mainly by the screen controls. 'Reflections' come from light sources external to the monitor, and so have to be controlled in other ways. The terms are frequently used interchangeably, but the distinction may be important for Thakeray's problem. Reflections used to be the bane of DSE - and are the rationale behind the schedule "requirement" for window blinds etc. With LCD non-reflective monitors, reflections are now unusual (watch out for laptops and tablets though, as it is fashionable for these to have high-specification but highly reflective, screens. A procurement issue.) 'Glare' is still possible from LCDs - although it is more likely to be a contrast / colour / or clarity of text problem as perceived by the user. There are techniques to help with this, relating to the control of the image, font type and size, etc. I do not find the BS specifications for DSE of any use in the real world, although they may be helpful to manufacturers.

Aud: you seem to be confusing brightness with glare. Brightness issues from the screen and is (should be) controllable by adjustments available on the equipment or in software. Glare is the impact of bright lights / bright surfaces (windows, overhead lights, white reflective walls on sunny days etc) on the users ability to read the screen easily. Overhead fluorescent glare can be reduced by judicious placement of screens in relation to the lights, by installation of better diffusers, by reducing the number of tubes of by fitting lower wattage and/or 'daylight' fluorescents. Overhead fluorescent glare WILL cause headache, migraine, nausea and other non-specific symptoms in many people. Window and white wall glare can controlled by screen placement, or by user-controlled blinds or curtains, or by semi-reflective window coatings. Window and white wall glare causes squinting, headache, poor posture and all that these lead to. To answer the original question - I do not think there is any such thing as an anti-glare monitor - although I stand to be corrected.... Steve
