[Radiance-general] glare on monitor screen

[Gregory J. Ward]

Hi Yuni,

Here is a description for an HP LCD monitor we measured at LBNL for  
the New York Times (work sponsored by NYSERDA).  You can substitute  
any 1024x768 screen shot you like for "VDTdisp.pic".  Make sure the  
maximum value is <= 1.0.

As for glare analysis, I don't know how you mean to associate  
discomfort glare with a VDT.  Perhaps you are thinking of veiling  
glare -- reflections from the screen that reduce visibility?

-Greg
