Anti glare coating for glass?

(1/2) > >>

ivwshane:
Is there a coating I can put on glass (after the fact) that will reduce glare? If so how expensive is it and what kind of draw backs does it have?

Any links would also be welcomed.

BobA:
Here is a link to a plastic sheet that can be applied to your flat glass (not for curved crts)

I have had experience with a spray that a service co applied to our curved crt monitors.   It was only marginally effective and wore off over a short period of time.  I would not recommend a spray on coating due to the low durability. 

Major things to note are loss of some contrast and brightness.  In color critical applications it can mess up the true colors that maybe important for viewing documents and pictures before printing.

ivwshane:
I don't know if that's what I'm looking for after reading this from their site:


--- Quote ---I have a custom built arcade cabinet with a 2ft square sheet of safety glass in front of a regular CRT monitor. However I do have a bit of a glare problem coming off the glass sheet, and I am wondering if your product would adhere to the glass (versus the material LCD screens are made of)?
The film will adhere to regular glass just fine, however, these films are made to go directly onto LCD screens. When placed on glass and not in direct contact with the image you get a opaque pane of glass

BobA:
The curve on the CRT messes it up.  I thought that when you said glass you were meaning a flat sheet, sorry if I misunderstood your intent.

ivwshane:
No I meant a sheet of glass, not a crt.

The way I read their faq seem to indicate issues with anything except lcd.
