SCREEN SURFACE
A nonglare coating reduces the visual distractions
of light reflecting on a monitor. Some technologies diffuse the light by providing a rough surface that scatters incident rays. Others reduce glare by using a multilayer coating that diffracts incident light but maintains sharpness and contrast. An antistatic surface reduces a screen's electrical charge, thus decreasing the accumulation of dust.
CONTROLS
Look for controls that are mounted on the front bezel and have easily identifiable markings. Digital controls with on-screen menus are the easiest to use. For image adjustments, we favored push buttons over thumbwheels.
PEDESTAL
Monitors that pan and tilt smoothly and offer a good range of movement make it easy to adjust a monitor's position to allow comfortable viewing.
Flexible C++

My approach to software engineering is far more pragmatic than it
is
theoretical--and no language better exemplifies this than C++.
