Concerns about glass glare

[Hankster]

I'm purchasing a new computer for my office, and the new iMac is on the top of my list. My concern is the all glass screen. I use my MacBook Air in my office a lot, and the glare off the windows gives me issues all the time. I've had to sit at a different angle or lower the screen angle.

My office has three windows and is very bright (two windows face east). Does anyone have experience with using the iMacs in rooms with plenty of light? I'm afraid with the issues I have already with the glare from my MBA that an iMac will be worse.

Thanks for the feedback.

It will be a similar issue. You can purchase some screen protectors that will reduce glare, its similar to those you would get for smartphones.

Example (I know nothing of this product, was just my first google result "imac anti glare" were the terms):

You can alway get an anti-glare screen protector, like you would an iPhone.

Here is a link to a company, Photodon, that makes anti glare film for iMacs.

I like being able to see people behind me when I'm in the office hahaha. You can tell if you're being watched while on MacRumors during the day!

LOL! Well, lucky for me my desk faces the door so no one's going to be looking over my shoulder unless it's through a telescope!
