edward_wallace3 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I have the 21.5" 2012 late version I-Mac and can not find any company that makes a hood for this model computer. Anyone out there know of any companies or places that would have this? I see hoods are available for "earlier" 2012 models but not the "later" 2012 IMac model which I have....Thanks!

JDMvW Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 <p>I don't have much problem with my larger iMac. Have you played with the brightness and angles of the screen and ambient lighting?</p> <p>BTW, it is "<strong>iMac</strong>" -- only "I-Mac" to newbies and Windows users- and you don't want to be classed with either group if you can help it.... ;)</p> <p> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eric_brody Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 <p>Once again, I find myself agreeing with and echoing Andrew's sentiments. I recently got a terrific NEC 27" monitor with Spectraview. B&H sells a hood for it for just over US$100. I don't know what the velcro and black foamcore cost, but I'll bet it was under US$15.00. It works very well and can be removed or attached in about two minutes.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howard_m Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 <p>yea, NEC's price for a couple of pieces of plastic is waay too high. they sometimes give them away during monitor purchase as a promotion</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Stone Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 <p>" Have you played with the brightness and angles of the screen and ambient lighting?"<br> Playing with the angles of the screen (position relative to the user) or ambient lighting is fine, but playing with brightness is playing with your calibration. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
