Hey guys,
I am new to the forum. I've read many posts in the past but for some reason never joined. I have an iMac and like many of you, I hate the glossy panel. I am a freelance photographer in Florida, and I spend a lot of time in front of the computer. Due to the limitations of the room I edit in, there is no way for me to completely cut down reflections with the glass panel on the iMac. I use a monitor hood, which helps a little (and I mean little).
I've searched and searched and searched for a good solution to this problem. The best I could find were suggestions to remove the glass panel of the iMac to expose the the semi matte display behind it. I thought this was a great idea, except for the fact that it left the display looking like a DIY project gone bad. Today, I came a across a site that makes a replacement bezel. It is basically a black frame without the glass over the display. It allows you to remove the glass panel and cover the edges of the LCD, hiding and protecting the iMac's internal components. I really wish I came up with this idea.
I haven't had a chance to purchase one yet as I just came across this today, but I thought it was worth sharing. Screen glare has been my only gripe since buying my iMac in 2009.
You can see the frame here: www.macframes.com
I am really surprised that I have found so little about this product on the web. It is a great solution for photographers, designers, and anyone in general that hates monitor glare.
I'll try to post a more thorough analysis of the product when I have a chance to buy one.
On a side note: For my capstone semester of my business degree, my team and I created a 5-year business strategy for Apple and competed against other teams with the same goal. Thanks to the information on sites like this, our team's 118 page strategy won. Thanks everyone for keeping the world informed on everything Apple.
Best,
Bernard
