I wasn't sure if I should post this here or under the Raw, Post Processing forum.

Does anyone use one of those shades on their monitors to block out light?

If so, did you purchase separately or did it come with the monitor?

If bought separately, where did you purchase it from? I've tried to find them online but haven't had any luck. I'm not sure if I'm searching using the right terms.

I really need to make one, I've moved monitor to front of a window.

You can make them out of anything that will block light.
Scraps of matt board from a framer are excellent.
