PChOODMonitor Hood Pro – 15–27-Inch Monitor Hood

The PChOOD Monitor Hood Pro provides a simple way to shield your display from unwanted ambient light, helping create a more controlled environment for viewing and assessing on-screen content.

Designed for LCD and CRT monitors between 15 and 27 inches, the hood features a light-absorbing black inner layer that helps minimise reflections around the screen. An anti-static exterior helps reduce dust attraction.

Its universal, fully adjustable construction accommodates monitors from 37cm to 63cm wide, with three height options to suit different display sizes. Durable components slot together for straightforward assembly, while a removable access cover allows a monitor calibration device to be used without removing the complete hood.

By controlling surrounding light, the hood can also allow the monitor to be used at a lower brightness setting. This can reduce monitor power consumption by up to 40%, while helping to extend monitor life and reduce the risk of eye strain.

Who this is for

The PChOOD Monitor Hood Pro is suited to photographers, retouchers, designers and other creative users who want to reduce the effect of ambient light and reflections when working at a monitor.

It is particularly useful for colour-sensitive workflows where a more consistent viewing environment makes it easier to assess images on screen.

How it works

Controls ambient light

The hood surrounds the top and sides of the display, helping prevent surrounding light from falling directly onto the screen. Its light-absorbing inner surface further reduces reflections for a clearer, more controlled view.

Adjustable for different monitors

With a width range of 37–63cm and height options of 31cm, 34cm and 37cm, the hood can be adjusted to fit a variety of LCD and CRT displays between 15 and 27 inches.

Supports monitor calibration

A removable access cover provides access for a monitor calibration device, making the hood practical for use as part of a colour-managed workflow.

Helps reduce display brightness

Reducing ambient light around the screen can allow you to work at a lower monitor brightness. The manufacturer states that this can reduce monitor power consumption by up to 40%, as well as helping extend monitor life and reduce the risk of eye strain.

Why choose the PChOOD Monitor Hood Pro?
