Do Anti-Glare screen have any benefit when used on LCD monitors? Scientific answers prefered please!?

the anti glare screen uses depolarizing technology to diffuse the light reflected off your screen and reduce the glare, HOWEVER it does reflect SOME light on it's own...little background...\n\nyour standard monitor (flat screen or standard) is composed of Glass and Gasses the Glass reflects light, similar to how a window or mirror does. where as a LCD screen (Liquid Christal Display) has a non reflective plastic cover over it that doesn't reflect light at all, hope I helped :D

If that wonderfully sleek, space-saving flat-screen monitor adorning the top of your desk or workstation is blurry with fingerprints and smudges, there is hope. LCD (liquid crystal display) screens are especially susceptible to scratches and require a little special care, but you can have yours shining like new in no time. Apparently, every manufacturer has their own recommendations on how to best clean their particular model of LCD, but there are some general guidelines. \nYou don't have to turn the monitor off before cleaning it, but this will help you see the smudges and smears. If your screen is merely dusty, you can wipe gently with a soft, cotton cloth or try a can of compressed air. But if your screen is downright grungy, you might have to resort to some tougher tactics. \n\nThough some people recommend using Windex, ethyl alcohol and ammonia-based cleaners can yellow your flat-screen or laptop monitor over time, so it is best to avoid such products. You can find an array of commercial products specifically designed to clean LCD screens, but you may prefer to just head to your kitchen and mix up your own solution. Plain old water can do the trick, or you can concoct a solution of vinegar and water or isopropyl alcohol and water. \n\nAlways use a soft cotton cloth, rather than a rag or paper towel to wipe the screen. Some people recommend special electrostatic cloths, like those used to clean eyeglasses treated with anti-glare finish, or even dryer sheets. Apply the cleaning solution to your cloth rather than directly to the screen and wipe in one direction -- from the top of the screen to the bottom. \n\nOne final word of warning, never touch or press on your LCD screen with your fingers as this can cause the pixels to burn out.

Over time, the backlight on LCD monitors fades and the photo-reactive layer on CRT monitors breaks down. Backlights on LCD monitors can be replaced. You'd have to check with the manufacture or local computer repair shop for prices. I'm not sure if the photo layer on a CRT can be replaced. Ambrosia Software has a utility called ScreenCleaner Pro which is supposed to be able to adjust your monitor to correct for the fade in brightness. I've never used it, so I won't claim it works. It is free to download.

my laptop manufacturer recomends window cleaner and a lint free cloth.  that's what I use and it works without harm to the screen.

all the people that have answered are ruining their screens! most newer monitors have an anti glare coating from the factory and widex can pit or eat through it alcohol is also too strong. use a wipe made by dust off the people that make canned air for cleaning screens especially laptops.

In the past the savings was significant with CRT monitors; not only does one save on the electricity, but one also prolongs the life of the tube and circuits inside the monitor.\n\nLCD screens use far less power than CRTs, and so you'll get great savings if you retire your CRT and replace it with a LCD.  So do this if you haven't already.\n\nSwitching off an LCD will save a little, but not significant amount, since they are already so efficient to begin with.  Switching off also protects against unexpected power surges that may damage your monitor.\n\nHaving said that, I still switch off my LCD and computer if I don't expect to use it for the next 2 hours or so, and I always switch off every night before going to bed.

You should follow the directions in your notebook manual.\n\nTo be on the safe side, I say LCD cleaner. Some of the best is the Monster cleaner. I know, Monster Cables are overpriced. But for $19 you get a spray bottle that can clean just about any screen, lasts for a long, long time, and also comes with a scratchproof microfiber cloth.\n\nGet the Monster stuff- very potent, and the value (ironically and atypically) is great.

I suggest using cleaning wipes made for monitors such as Fellowes Screen Cleaning Wipes. It's made specifically for CRT & LCD monitors. It's alcohol and streak free and has anti-static properties. Just make sure never to push down on the LCD when you're cleaning/wiping or you could give your monitor a dead pixel or two.\n\nHere's more info on the product: http://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/catalog/sku.asp?ID=FE99702&LEVEL=SK&PR=Q71&SID=68EACB0PKQDR9HPDWW5MU2WPRDJ1BK58\n\nIt's for a local stationery supply place in Sydney, but I'm sure you can find the equivalent where ever you are.

Obviously the LCD has the CRT whipped in relation to the radiation, but...\nA good CRT may still be easier on the eye than a bad (or incorrectly set up LCD.\nIf an LCD has both analogue and digital inputs (in my experience) the digital input will produce a crisper image.\nUsing an LCD at anything other than its natural (max) resolution will cause the image to appear blurred.  The SDM-HS75P should be used at 1280x1024.\nThe refresh rate - on a CRT go for the max possible, on my LCD I haven't found that it makes a visible difference..\nAny tools or help on the drivers CD, or Sony's website?\nGood luck!

Hi there,\n\nThe viewing distance from the screen to the eyes should be seventeen to twenty-six inches. \n\nSome eye relaxation exercises would also help.\n\n:)

yes, i recently started an office job where i look at a computer screen all day (9 hours) and often get headaches and vision sensitivity.  i'm going to ask my doctor if there are any different contacts that i can wear that might be better for this and i am also planning on getting one of those screens you put over your monitor that dims the picture

well if the monitor is a CRT rather than an LCD (flat panel) then you are putting two big electromagnets next to each other. they may interfere with each other and in the long term there is a small chance of physical damage.\n\nIf it's an LCD screen it should be okay.

Well,\n\nhere you can find comparison table:\n\nhttp://michaelbluejay.com/electricity/computers.html\n\nThe main factor is width of screen

I'm assuming you're asking on how many how soon should a screensaver come on to be safe.\nIf you are using an LCD monitor it shouldn't matter much. A CRT monitor, 2-3 minutes is good.

A TFT monitor uses thin-film transistor technology for the ultimate LCD or liquid crystal display. LCD monitors, also called flat panel displays, are replacing the old style cathode ray tubes (CRTs) as the display of choice. Nearly all LCD monitors today use TFT technology.\n\nThe benefit of a TFT monitor is a separate, tiny transistor for each pixel on the display. Because each transistor is so small, the amount of charge needed to control it is also small. This allows for very fast re-drawing of the display, as the image is re-painted or refreshed several times per second............\n\nsource(s) : http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-tft-monitor.htm

there is no need to dagauss an LCD. They do not work on the same principle as a CRT and therefore do not need this.

Isolation from actual human to human contact. \nSloppier hand writing\nInability to spell (spell check does it for kids)\nInability to resolve conflict face to face.\nCan cause arguments because people can't "read" the other person's IM, email etc and think that someone is ticked when the other isn't.\n\n\nps: Does the person above me really think she/he is receiving diseases from the minimal amount of radiation from the monitor???? . Is working with computers as harmful as watching TV for long periods of time? How harmful are the radiations from the computer as compared to that caused by TV?\n\nA. Modern computer screens emit very little radiation and are very safe. Issues with regards to eye strain because of computer usage (Computer Vision Syndrome) are mostly due to bad contrast/excessive or poorly illuminated screens / background illuminations / posture / positioning of the monitor and ocular conditions such as dry eyes / allergic conjunctivitis, uncorrected refraction errors esp. astigmatism & convergence insufficiency. \n\n\nIf these aspects are looked at carefully, computer usage & TV viewing, even over long periods, is not harmful. The screens should be flicker free with high refresh rates (Hz). It is also recommended that a few minutes of rest be taken after 30-40 minutes of use.
