Calibration Door: The calibration door is especially useful for professionals who regularly calibrate their monitors. It ensures that the colors displayed on the screen match what will appear in printed materials, whether produced in-house or at an external facility.
Only custom monitor hoods can accommodate calibration devices. If you choose to add a calibration door to the top center of the hood (for an additional fee), you’ll be able to calibrate your monitor without removing the hood. Simply select the 'Add Calibration Door - Add $15.00' option at the time of purchase. The standard size for a calibration door is 95mm x 84mm (3.75" x 3.25")

Why You Should Use a Monitor Hood
Anti-Glare and Color Accuracy
Monitor hoods create a simple and effective shaded environment, successfully reducing excess screen glare and eliminating ambient light directed at your computer screen. Monitor hoods allow for better color accuracy and enhance perception and saturation, ideal for gamers, developers, photographers, web designers, and those involved in color-critical work.
- Designed to prevent light from reflecting on your screen without compromising image quality
- Allows for accurate color calibration when editing photos, video and design
Privacy Protection
Monitor hoods increase and ensure accurate privacy protection. The eight-inch depth of the visor effectively shields confidential information and provides privacy, which is ideal for data entry workers and those in medical facilities.
- Provides maximum privacy and protection from side-viewing and other external distractions
User-Friendly Design
Lightweight and fully assembled, our monitor hoods are thoughtfully designed and built in-house. Hoods fold flat and compact for easy storage and transport. THey are built using a high-density fiberboard material, complete with a neutral gray light-absorbing interior (office hoods) or lightweight corrugated plastic (indoor-outdoor hoods). Hoods are easy to install and mount securely and quickly on the front face of your monitor with pre-installed elastic cords.
