A better view of your iMac

Tuesday, April 24th, 2012

“I can see myself well enough to shave.”
This is a statement we hear often from iMac users.

The iMacs on the market today offer brilliant color and a crisp, sharp image. However, the glossy screen makes it hard to avoid light bouncing off the screen and into the operator’s eyes. Screen glare is a proven cause of Computer Vision Syndrome, (CVS).

A smart solution to avoid the glare from your iMac screen is to install a monitor hood. A monitor hood is built specifically to block out overhead and side lighting which will reduce the glare from surrounding light sources.

Here at Photodon.com, we offer monitor hoods to fit today’s iMac monitors!

Great New Improvements to our Computer Monitor Hoods!

Wednesday, November 9th, 2011

From the material to the way it attaches to your monitor, we have made some big changes to our Computer Monitor Hoods!

A Monitor Hood is a great way to increase privacy, help with screen calibration and block overhead and/or side lighting.

Monitor Hood Front  

We’re sure you’ll like these updates!   

Photodon’s Monitor Hoods are now lined with a dark fabric interior that won’t mark up and will absorb light even better than before! 

Our Universal Monitor Hoods now attach to your monitor with an elastic cord that threads through the hood and straps around the back of your monitor.   

This new attachment method eliminates the need to stick anything to the monitor for mounting!

Check out our Monitor Hoods!

Helpful Tip:
Set your monitor perpendicular with any windows you may be close to. This will help reduce glare.

Create a shaded and private environment for your monitor!

Computer Monitor Hood
Block ambient lighting from reflecting off your display with a computer monitor hood!

If you’re in an office setting where the over head lighting can be a little too much, or you sit too close to a window, a monitor hood is a great solution to reduce the glare from reflecting off of your computer screen. A hood is also a great idea for photographers for color calibrating!

A hood also helps keep private information safe from on lookers!
Testing facilities, schools, airports, hospitals, banks, doctors’ offices, anywhere keeping sensitive information on a computer screen will benefit from the privacy a monitor hood offers!

Choose from Apple Monitor Hoods or our Universal Monitor Hoods.

If you have a special monitor set up, we can work with you to build a custom monitor hood!

Helpful Tips:

To help cut down on screen glare, arrange your monitor perpendicular from windows.

Who Uses a Monitor Hood Anyway?

Tuesday, April 19th, 2011

Computer monitor hoods

A great tool for photographers needing a digital darkroom, a testing facility looking to keep test scores honest and for the airport, bank or doctor’s office where sensitive information needs to be kept private.

Computer monitor hoods are also great for the every day user who may sit under bright florescent lighting or near a sunny/bright window. Reducing/eliminating the glare on your screen makes your data is easier to read and reduces your risk for CVS (computer vision syndrome).

Ultimately a monitor hood will make you more alert and focused on your work – not on the eye strain and headaches that come with fighting glare on your screen. It helps reduce fatigue.

Computer Monitor Hood

You’ve got options!

When ordering your monitor hood from us you have a few choices:
One is a calibration door. This is a small sliding door that can be built with your hood (made to fit your monitor!) This door allows you to drop down your calibration spider to, well, calibrate your display image!!

Instead of removing the entire hood and replacing it once you have the spider in place, you will literally “open the door” to a smarter way of calibrating, creating the digital darkroom that works!

If you need the sides of the hood shortened or made longer, we’ll make it so!

Need your hood a little deeper than what we offer? How about a little less deep? We can take care of that too!

Our hoods have options that you can choose from right on the product page. It’s like building your very own unique hood yourself!

Didn’t find what you were looking for in our hood selection?

Don’t despair!
We can custom build a hood for you! Be sure to get a hold of us to work with our capable and knowledgeable Team. We’re always happy to help you!

So who uses a computer monitor hood?

Maybe *you* should!

  • Do you find yourself squinting to see past the glare on your screen?
  • After an hour or two at your computer do your eyes get tired?
  • Does working on your computer give you a headache?
  • Is the lighting in your office bright and hard to avoid?
  • Are you working with private information?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, you may want to consider a computer monitor hood!

We also carry Privacy Shields which give you glare reduction and privacy just like a hood but without the total coverage of a Monitor Hood.

As always if you have questions, post on our FaceBook wall!

Our Goal

Tuesday, June 8th, 2010

Here at Photodon.com, we strive to offer quality products at affordable prices.

Before a product is added to our store, we test it in our offices, in our workshops, at our homes, at our family and friend’s homes; sometimes we even send out samples in exchange for consumer feedback.
If it doesn’t fly with us, we won’t even try to sell it to you! And believe me, we’ve tested quite a bit of product!
What we put forward is what we know to be the best, and our customers deserve the best.

There are a lot of businesses out there that offer specialty cleaners, microfiber cloths, monitor hoods, and screen protective film. So we’re working hard to give you good enough reason to shop our store and keep you coming back.

Although good products at good prices is only “a piece of the pie”. Our customer service staff is friendly and accommodating. If you ever have a question or concern about a product, your order, or how we do business, a real, live, person will answer your call or respond to your email.
If there is a problem, we’ll go out of our way to make it right.
Your satisfaction matters to us. YOU matter to us. You’re not an order number here! You’re a very important part of how we run our online store and you’ll always be appreciated for stopping by.

We have the ability of fulfilling large orders, and custom orders, but we want to give that small town store feel when you’re doing business with us.

Remember we’re always opened to suggestions! Follow us on Twitter, Like us of Facebook, or contact us via phone or email. We’d love to hear from you.

I’m outta here for now! Take Care!
