I would like to have it on my desk next to my computer while I work. Would that work, or would the glare be too strong and annoying?

I am using this light to help with a severe sleep disorder. The doctor I am working with is a sleep specialist with a psychiatry background. She tell me that you do not have to look directly into the light . It can be placed somewhat to the side and be no more than 12" to 18" away, but it needs enter the eyes to be effective. I started out with 30 minutes of exposure. Because I am not responding to resetting my circadian rhythm, the doctor has increased time to 45 minutes to an hour. Depending on your particular reason for using this device, i would start gradually with 15 minute sessions and see how you respond, then increase the time until good effect. Good luck to you.

I had mine next to my computer at work and had no issues. Note, you're not supposed to look directly at it.

Since it isn't a fluorescent light, it doesn't give a glare like your talking about. I have mine right next to my computer and it works fine.

It is a matte screen, so not much glare. But any screen in certain lighting will have at least some glare.

Yes, it will stay on while you work on your computer. The only thing it will be vibrating your body (and your eyes) so you need extra afford to keep focus at the computer. I do it, but not too often as I think it may damage my eyes.

I never seem to have a glare problem with mine but that may be the way I have it located. I don't know if it is actually anti-glare or not.

I haven't had any issues with glare and I have the tv in a room with a lot of windows. Maybe it's where I have the tv, but no issues

You will get some glare. Still worth it given the led screen is protected and looks not bad

The monitor does have a lot of glare. While it rarely creates an inconvenience to me, when it does I just close a blind or curtain.

I believe so. We currently use it to hide storage items from view and it does a very nice job of that, you cannot see through the screen sections at all, so, I think it would block sunlight glares on a computer screen as well. It's truly a very nice addition to our office.

i don't think so.. it kind of glows more than shines. and if you put it on the floor, it would probably not go over the cubicle walls too much. i actually put it on the floor outside my office with the door open and i keep thinking the sun is coming thru the window - but it's just the light. so even if your coworkers see it, it would probably not bother them.

Just to add to other comments, the screen is anti-glare, the glossy part is the boarder. I use it in my home office and have several lights shining around the monitor and there's absolutely no glare from the monitor.

I wouldn't. Not if you are going to be sitting a normal distance away from it. The text will not be sharp enough. If you aren't going to do any reading on it then "maybe..." Like if it were dedicated to look at some graphics from a distance like in a conference room.

Not for me. That is the reason I bought it, but there was absolutely no improvement with the glare on my Toshiba laptop.

This monitor has a dull screen and you should have no problems with glares from the windows. I use the monitor with windows behind me and I get no reflections.

I have it in a real well lit room and glare is not an issue unless direct sunlight hits it, which it can do a certain short periods of the day. Dont think you have much to worry about. Over all am real happy within the TV in the 6 months or so i have had it.

Brightness is personal preference. You might be fine with it, and another person may not be. So unfortunately I'm unable to answer that. keep in mind that the directions explain that the light should not be directly in front of you. So you might want to place the light in the corner of your desk.

I've not experienced a problem with glare. My tv is next to a window but angled at approximately 45 degrees away from the windo.
