Hi Chris,
if you Google computer monitor hood there are a lot of products available. Although I have not used any of the recent flat screen monitor hoods, in the past I have used old CRT monitors with "hoods" and found them to be generally OK. Some typists that I worked with in the past insisted on monitor hoods irrespective of where their desks were located (their argument being that the hoods minimised distractions).

Surely a simple piece of cardboard could do this. One hour, at a particular time of the year.

Hi Chris,

Is there a way to usual any duplicate screen one to face the customer and second one as convenient to the user

I am sure some how its possible like in banks and all

regards,

Pradeesh

Thanks for the input everyone.

Yes the door has this film on it, but when the sun is out in full force it seems not quite enough.

The door is external an opens both ways and we need to see if people are stood the other side, so I don't think blinds are an option. It is also a "high ish" traffic route. we do have cctv, but obviously only one way.

the user already has a double screen in order to do their work, so duplicating that again would not be good.

My only thought was a blue Peter solution as noted above, but was hoping that, there was some solution out there that might look a bit better.

The only other thought is if I can work out the exact part of the door a small poster may do the trick, and still allow general visibility.

It was a long shot, I think I was hoping some one had seen a shield or something elese, say a calendar that would run along the top of the screen (and upwards not over the screen itself - as I know it is Friday).

Seems I had better go and find some card and sticky back plastic (possibly poster paint). Just thought, if I make my own there could be a safety message on it.

Cheers all
Chris

Thanks David

This person has already complained that their neck and shoulders hurt!. So I'm not sure I should suggest this, as we have been through the seat, screen, keyboard adjustment process with them (though their issue is poor posture).

Could be, It looks like those old plastic paper binder strips with a bit of double sided tape. And would require less blue peter skills. Could be a neat solution.

Thanks

Thanks appreciate that and If they give any feedback to effectiveness if you are willing, would also be welcome.

Chris

Thought for a moment you were going to suggest I get a mechanoid to stand between the door and computer screen. Better still sit at the desk and do the work.

I would probably find them with the silver foil wrapped around their heads to prevent harmful rays and mind control.

Interesting thought about car sun visor though if the plastic grippy thing and card (or silver foil laminated paper) does not work.

I would quite like it to look professional and not easily broken by passing idiots.

Chris

Thanks RSOK

That does look interesting, may be worth a visit to a car accessory shop and study them to see if one can be easily attached to a monitor. The one in the advert looks about the right size.
