That was my concern too, but it's not a problem in my environment; I
think there is an anti-reflection coating.
One deficiency, however, is the brightness control. It does not adjust
down enough compared to a CRT.
In an office or room with fairly good lighting, I have to crank the
brightness down to its minimum for comfort.

Thanks for the tip. What model is your ViewSonic? None of the HP's I
looked at have rotation.
