Disclaimer = Standard + Joke First let me apologise to all those expectant readers who mailed me at the end of last year asking for the answer to the problem of those disturbing reflections on Sun screens. [long excuse deleted.] Finally I have obtained a satisfactory solution from Sun-Flex (20 Pimentel Court Novato, California, USA 94949 Telephone +1 415 883 1221) who make a fine mesh that fits behind the bezel of the monitor. It really reduces reflections and only seems to have one potential problem - getting dirty from sticky fingers. The mesh reduces light transmission by about 40%, so compensating by increasing the brilliance can also reduce the image sharpness (ah well nothing's perfect). I have also looked at clip on and hang down type glass filters, they are easier to clean but very ineffective in reducing reflections (some actually create new ones!).
