Monitor Hoods
Monitor hoods can solve issues with
glare and privacy on monitor screens.
Photodon® offers two types of monitor hoods: the office style monitor hood, and the versatile indoor-outdoor shade monitor hood. Our hoods are custom made to fit your needs.
Adjustable Office Monitor Hoods
This hood material is manufactured in the USA and was chosen for its rich tactile quality, and superior performance. It is easy to maintain. Laminated with low light transmittance gray inside material and a thick fiberboard, this decorative cover material is strong and durable. Excellent for use in the home and office.
Apple Monitor Hoods
Apple hoods are made specifically for certain iMacs to accommodate the top corners. They are rounded to fit the specific model, thereby limiting the amount of ambient light that penetrates between the hood and the monitor.
Indoor-Outdoor Shade Monitor Hood
This hood is versatile and is designed for indoor/outdoor use and for industrial type settings. Made from corrugated plastic, this hood is great for use in a dirty and damp indoor or outdoor environment.

Monitor Hood Pros and Cons:
Is a monitor hood or an anti-glare film right for you? Here are some ideas to consider as you make a decision.....
| Monitor Hood Pros - The benefits of a monitor hood versus an anti-glare screen protector | ||
|---|---|---|
| Regarding Image Clarity | A monitor hood cuts down glare without compromising image clarity. | while high anti-glare screen protectors can cause pixeling and decreased image clarity. |
| Regarding Color Calibration | A monitor hood allows for accurate color calibration. | while anti-glare films can cause decreased image quality and may inhibit proper color calibration. |
| Regarding Privacy | Monitor hoods provide an ideal amount of privacy for computers adjacent to each other. | while standard anti-glare films do not provide privacy. However we do have Privacy Filters as well to help with privacy issues. |
| Eye Fatigue & Glare Reduction In Ambient Light | A monitor hood aids eye fatigue and glare reduction by eliminating ambient light from overhead and side light sources. | Anti-glare screen protectors allow for glare reduction and relief from eye fatigue, but do not reduce ambient light from hitting the screen. |
| Monitor Hood Cons - When a screen protector makes better sense than a monitor hood | ||
| Size | Hoods are limited in size to monitors and TVs up to 48 inches for office hoods, and up to 96 inches for indoor-outdoor hoods.. | while anti-glare screen protectors are available for all flat screens up to 100" diameter. |
| Protection | A monitor hood does not shield a screen's surface, therefore cannot prevent scratches or smudges. | while screen protectors shield screen from scratches, smudges and other wear and tear. |
