How do you reduce monitor glare on an LCD screen? I just purchased a 22" Acer LCD monitor and I just figured how to let the monitor auto-adjust itself to my liking. However, there is still a "glare" to it that makes images more fuzzy. It really doesn't bother me, but it could be sharper- and it's a tad too bright. Would buying a privacy/anti-glare filter for my monitor help? There is no source of light nearby, the glare is coming from the monitor itself!

I have a LCD monitor that does not have S-video input. How can I use the DVI connector? I recently purchased a wide format 20.1 inch LCD monitor. It has D-sub analog and DVI inputs but does not have an S-video input. I would like to hook it up to my home theater receiver wich has S-video, YPbPr and composite outputs. Is there an easy way to make the monitor work with either the S-video or the YPbPr outputs? I certainly don't want to use the composite video output because of its poor quality. Im willing to spend some time and effort if the solution is not so complicated. But I can always return it, or use it as another computer monitor. Any comments our solutions?

What do any of you recommend for a 20" lcd monitor? I've been looking at Planar and ViewSonic. Each of them has a model I like, but I don't want to overlook something else really good. There are so many choices out there and I've done enough searching and reading reviews to know I'd like some opinions about my specific needs. I need height adjustable. I think I should be able to get 8ms response, 800:1 contrast and 600+ (?) brightness in the monitor I buy without too much trouble. My eyes tire easily and I need a larger screen to help with that. I do mostly office-type work. I expect to be doing a little more photo or video in the near future - not professional. I'm not a gamer, but I need really good graphics to help my eyes. I want LCD, also, to reduce my radiation exposure. I'm also interested in any opinions about buy at a store, or buy online. Thanks for the help.
