Asher:

I have used the Optima 1500 Glare Guard, Model 6866 for a couple of
years and have been very satisfied.  We had one to develop tiny
breaks or holes in the screen material.  I failed to return the
Warranty card on it at purchase time, so could not get that one replaced.
However, they have a new "return policy" on defective material.  There is an
800 number to call and get a Return Authorization Number and they
give you the procedure to follow.

We purchased ours from Lyben Computer Systems, 5545 Bridgewood,
Sterling Heights, MI 48310 (phone 1-800-493-5777).

I really cuts down on the glare.  We also leave our overhead lights
off in our office, which also helps.

Good luck!

Janice
