    Not really a *monitors* question, but figured it was the best location for this post.

    Does anyone know of a hard shell case for laptops that includes a sun shade integrated into the case? We are tired of trying to see the laptop monitor while out on location.

    Derek: I suspect you will get better results if you lay the screen back so that, from your vantage point, you are looking at a reflection of the underside of the top of the hood -- if you don't, you'll be looking at a brightly lit image of yourself.

    $2.00 worth of black muslin and some plastic scraps from Tap Plastics works for me. ;)

    Yes. It makes it hard to maintain visual line of sight with the copter, but you'll have a clear view of your laptop when it blue screens.

    Here's the case in-use! Jon says it takes him back to the years playing house with bedsheets and big cushions!

    Hope Transport Canada doesn't require you to maintain visual line of sight of the copter! :)
