Glare

[Ruger22C]

If I turn on a light or open the window, I can see glare on my monitor. It becomes hard to distinguish when looking at an enemy. What's a good solution? Playing in the dark is bad for one's eyes.

turn off your monitor

Hopefully the gaming forum will be here soon and you can ask THEM.

Hehehehe

Then stop going to myspace.com. Problem solved; no more enemies to look at.

Strobe light. Just watch the strobe. Nothing will bother you after a few minutes. Tinq, tinq, tinq, tinq...

Just play in the dark, your eyes wont go bad for at least a few years.

Move your light source behind the monitor.

My mothers all disowned me .

Still, you need to either move the light source or the computer if you can't deal with playing in the dark.

I am the spalding grey of crap.

Why don't you get one of those old school glare reducer screens? Tape a cardboard box around your monitor (3 sides) or drape a towel over your head that encloses both your head and the monitor.

That's a good idea. My wife did that to mine and fried my mobo. So i had to build a new rig.

Says who? Optometrists or mothers who think the only purpose of a darkened room is to let their little snoogums sleep?

Unless you REALLY have some kind of problem with playing in the dark, I agree, its just a myth... I myself am a proof of it, spending tons of time on computer at night without any other light and still having near perfect vision

So if your only worry is that, better not worry at all... Of course, each person is different, but if you were prone to lose vision quickly you would have lost it by now already... I am of the opinion that casual things like reading stress your eyes much more, and people that read alot tend to need glasses very young, so it makes sense
