Move your monitor so it's not reflecting the light from your window or lamp.

You used to be able to buy anti-glare screens for monitors but I don't know if they still sell them.

Sit under the table and use a periscope to view the monitor

lol I'm getting a periscope!

Health and safety say
the monitor should
eye level should be 1/3 from top of screen
screen should be at 90 deg to windows
screen should ideally be tilted slightly down and slightly to left or right (only a couple of deg)
artificial lighting should always be used - lighting should not fall directly onto the screen .... or "halo" your silhouette
contrast should be high ... brightness as low as possible
refresh rate as high as practical (not much option if LCD).

I think that's the problem with the modern 'reflective'/black screens etc. Not a lot of people like it! Sorry.

[ACtheTROLL]

I know this is stupid .... but have you taken the protective film off the front of the screen?

sorry .... but had to ask!

Being a laptop the "natural" position is on your lap .... can you angle the screen down so you see your chest?

(I know then you'll be able to see whatever pattern is on your shirt at the time ....
how about turning goth?
black is so restful on the eyes

Your head isn't luminous by any chance? ;-)
