Is the Samsung Contrast Ratio LCD Monitor glare resistent?”
In general, most new LCDs are not anti-glare because of the nature of the screens themselves. Most old CRT monitors, however, were anti-glare either through a thin piece of plastic or through sand-blasting imperfections into the glass. I’ve added some additional information on the difference between Anti-Glare LCDs and Anti-Reflective screens. ————————————————————- Most LCD screens use an anti-glare (AG) treatment on their top surface to diffuse the reflected light from external lighting sources. This is also true of some older CRT monitors. This treatment consists of laminating a matte (rough) surface layer to the LCD. When light hits this rough surface it bounces off at different angles which reduces the intensity of light reflecting off of the surface and hitting your eyes. While this reduces the intensity of light, it does, however, leave a hazy image of the reflection which may block the onscreen image. Unfortunately, this treatment also dis
