Moniter is somewhat hooded already by the shelf over it. I have considered
building a hood but using pieces of mounting board I have lying around. I
was trying to come up with a scheme for lighting the area with as close to
the proper color and level as possible. There are lights in the room and
currently none of them seem to be shining on the moniter but the level of
light in the corner where I am in at is some what low. Thanks for the
ideas though John
