A shade over the top of the screen that blocks ceiling light before it lands. Solves glare rather than distraction, which is the other half of what makes a screen tiring to look at.

What it is like to use
Overhead strip lighting bouncing off a screen is a low grade drain most people stop noticing and keep paying for all day. If you squint at your monitor under office lights and have already turned the brightness up, this is the cheaper fix.
How to choose
Check your screen size before ordering, because that rules one of them in or out. Past that, the folding one packs flat, which matters if you share the desk or move your setup around.
Where to get one
- Hood for a 24 in screen on Amazon
- Folding hood, 24 to 27 in on Amazon
Folds flat, which matters if the desk is shared or the setup moves.
