| READ THE FACTS BELOW TO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN MISSING. |
- Our visors enhance
perception of colors and saturation—they allow the monitor to perform
as designed
- Our monitor
hoods have black interiors to absorb even more light, ensuring
optimal screen viewing
- Our hoods will
reduce eyestrain and the symptoms of Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS)
for many users
- When inconvenient to control
overhead lighting, create a small, dark viewing area for monitors with these
visors
- If you need to see more accurate
renditions of color and image, our hoods are usually the best answer
- A monitor hood will increase
privacy for the user; our MVA visors meet privacy requirements for
HIPAA
- Our economy MVB visors are lightweight and appropriate for use on
flat screen and LCD monitors
From the Federal
Aviation Administration:
"The following measures shall be taken to avoid glare from artificial
light sources:
- Locate light
sources so that they do not shine...within 60 degrees of the center
of the visual field
- If additional
lighting is needed, use dim light sources rather than bright ones
- Use polarized light, shields,
hoods, lens, diffusers, or visors.*
- Use indirect
lighting where possible...."

| WHY GLARE SCREENS AND FILTERS DON'T WORK VERY WELL. |
- Every glare
screen reduces the luminance (light) emitted by every monitor.
Period. End Of Discussion!
- To compensate
for lost luminance, users overdrive the CRT with higher beam currents,
decreasing monitor life
- Higher beam
currents also make the phosphors glow larger and make the image softer
and less crisp
- Glare screens
perform very poorly at reducing specular (like strong single source
reflections from a light bulb) glare
Based on research
by the National Academy of Sciences for the Department of the Navy, results
showed that the light (luminance) emitted from CRT monitors was lost at
an alarming rate when glare screens were used (testing 7 different styles
of glare screens--including several circular polarizing screens). Luminance
(on average) was reduced from 115 cd/square meter to 34 cd/square meter!
This result was obtained by placing the different glare screens over a smooth
finish monitor in a dark room.

| OUR VISORS WORK ON MANY LCD MONITORS, FLAT SCREEN DISPLAYS, TV SETS AND VIDEO MONITORS. |
- We recommend
hoods wherever flat screen and LCD displays are hampered by excessive
light
- Use our visors
at point-of-purchase displays, with x-ray film viewers, x-ray view boxes,
or x-ray illuminators
- The depth of
our MVA monitors increases computer screen privacy dramatically in high
security applications
- Use our hoods
for television glare in settings with harsh light (if reduced
viewing angles are acceptable)
- Yes, we
provide custom solutions to meet your specific applications
- Remember
that visors reduce viewing angles and only those sitting in front
of the monitor will see the entire image
