Build Your Own Monitor Hood

14th September 2015 Colour Management & Lighting, Colour Accurate Monitors


Monitor hoods are very handy if you are trying to solve uniformity issues, such as brightness/colour variances with your monitor coming from uneven ambient light. Read more on this in the article below.

Why You Need a Monitor Hood

How a monitor hood can solve uniformity issues, such as brightness/colour variances, with your colour accurate monitor.

If you're the DIY type, there is a good article here about making your own monitor hood.

We personally think these days you're mostly much better off buying an after-market PCHood monitor hood. It will only cost a little more than the DIY option, and the fit and finish will be far superior.

The PCHood is available in two sizes, suitable to fit all monitors ranging from 15 - 36 inches.
