Custom Monitor Hoods

Reduces screen glare and eye fatigue
Shades from ambient overhead and side/window lighting
Aids in color calibration consistency
Increases privacy - Helps keep information on your screen private
Professional, thoughtful design that is easily installed or removed
Allows for better concentration from busy environments
Keeps your screen cleaner, less dusty.
Made in the USA

Our new design features include:

New slimmer-looking design
Improved exterior material durability
Stronger elastic attachment cord
Small notch on each side to access USB ports

This fully-assembled, easy-to-install monitor hood creates a shaded environment for your screen, offering serious anti-glare and privacy protection, which is ideal for those involved in color-critical work. The eight ¼-inch depth effectively keeps private information safe from onlookers, providing an excellent accessory in testing, banking, and medical facilities.

At the core of our monitor hoods is a high-density fiberboard, the outside covering is a very tough embossed cloth material (similar to book covering) and the interior is a durable non-reflective woven material that is neutral gray. An elastic cord holds the hood in place and makes for easy installation and removal when desired. The elastic cord attachment allows for a wide range of variation of monitor shapes. Rigid plastic strips on the front edges provide reinforcement, protection, and a finished look. These hoods are intended for indoor type usage.

Monitor Hoods are made in-house, and we provide all of the essential items needed for simple no-hassle installation, including bumper buttons for positioning, foam strips for cushioning and light blocking, and detailed installation instructions.

This custom monitor hood ships flat, ready to be unfolded and the elastic cord attachment is pre-installed and ready to be mounted. (Also see installation video on adjacent tab).

Notes:

Monitor hoods do not block light coming from behind the viewer or eliminate reflections in rooms with excessive lighting.
If your monitor has heat exhausting vents along the top edge, a hood will block these vents unless you use something to lift the hood slightly.

Hood Options

Dual Monitor Hood:

Our adjustable Dual Monitor Hood option covers two identical monitors side by side. The angle of the screens is adjustable from straight across and up to 45-degrees.

Calibration Door:

The calibration door option is for professional persons who calibrate their monitors. The calibration process ensures the color seen on the screen is the same as it will be when printed either in-house or at another facility. The sliding door size is 3" x 2.25" and is available for all 8.25" hoods.

Slim Hoods:

The slim monitor hood provides a reduced depth option at 6-inches from front to back, lighter weight, but same professional design and attachment.

Note: These are not adjustable, confirm the model prior to placing your order.

Manufacturing facilities
Media production facilities

Designed for industrial-type shop environments, outdoor point-of-sale kiosks, tradeshows, drone controllers and much more. The indoor-outdoor hood creates a shaded environment for the operator's screen which helps reduce glare from overhead or ambient light. This hood is constructed of lightweight, durable corrugated plastic (as opposed to the office model made of high-density fiberboard). These hoods can get wet and are easy to clean when grease, dirt, and dust are present. The material is resistant to sun exposure and holds up well to being exposed to temperature extremes. As an added benefit, the hood provides some privacy from side-viewing to help keep sensitive data safe from visual snooping.

Super strong dual-locking adhesive strips ensure a secure fit which help keep the hood anchored for outdoor conditions. For smaller portable devices such as a drone controller or an outdoor field tablet, elastic cords are provided for securing the hood. Please note: The hood will not hold up to high winds. If the hood is attached to an outdoor monitor, the front edge may catch the wind and cause problems.

This hood is completely customizable and can accommodate installation on stand-alone and in-set screens. The hood ships flat and requires minimal set-up. Simply remove the hood from the box and install the adhesive strips. The corresponding locking strips (think strong Velco) will then be installed on your display. If using elastic cords for a smaller device, no other set-up is necessary.

Photodon's indoor-outdoor shade hoods are made in the USA in Traverse City, Michigan. We provide the essential items needed for installation, including adhesive-backed dual-lock attachment strips or elastic cord and detailed installation instructions.
