Protective glass for computer screen?

I don't know how do you call it in English. It's like glass that you put over computer screen so it protects your eyes.
Does that really help? Because, I've heard that it's just a waste of money. But maybe someone has better experience?

Or maybe there are glasses for this. I see very good, but recently I'm having headaches from looking at the computer screen. And my eyes become very tired in a short time. I'm using same monitor one last 6 years, so I don't know what is happening now.

I went to doctor and I'm using eye drops already.

What do you think?

 

I don't know if that glass is of any use, but I think that's better to add some more money and purchase a TFT monitor.

 

Have you tried different contrast settings etc.

Also had a similar experience, it turned out the reflection from the monitor screen (Sony) was the problem and a new nonreflective monitor solved the issue.

 

Yes, LCD are the solution of it now. And I am using it my self to avoid this problem.

 

purchase a better monitor that happens too much with cheap monitors

 

I've heard of that glass but I don't think it'll help you much

you better go and buy a good monitor just like the other members said

it'll help your eyes not to get tired in a short time

 

i agree with u ,,,,


u need g00d monitor

 

Time to buy LCD... =) Not mistaken the glasses will adsorb the static electric from the monitor and grounded it.

 

I am using LCD now to avoid this type of problem.

 

I'll do that. I saw pretty cheap Samsung 22 inch model. It should be fine

 

Screen shields are a very old fashioned thing in my opinion. Use LCD screens.
