Using laptop in the terrace/garden on a sunny day

TripleAce

Hi, I would like to use my laptop in the terrace on sunny days, but there is the usual glare problem that doesn't allow me to. I wonder if there is any way to fix this? Ie. is there anything I can put on the monitor, etc that can help?

Thank you

It's less noticeable on a matte screen (as opposed to a glossy one) but many manufacturers only offer their laptops with glossy screens. Perhaps there is something you could put over it to reduce it. Can bet someone else here will know.

What I do is make sure to sit in the shade and change the Windows theme to black on white. Or is it white on black? It's been so long since we have had a sunny day, I can't remember.

You can get an anti-glare or privacy filter to place over the screen.
