Anti-glare film for 27" display

Folks,

Do you know of any decent anti-glare film for the new 27" Apple Cinema Display? I got a this new monitor 2 days ago and I am starting to get headaches because of the glare... no matter how/where I position the screen in my office.

I really wish Apple would give a choice between glossy vs matte. That's future (hopefully), but for now I have to figure out a way to work with this 'shiny' new display 😉

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.2), Apple Cinema Display (LED) 27"

A company named Jigsaw supply this product for the 27" but unfortunately it is £80 inc vat, a lot of money for something you are not sure of working properly anyway.

Sorry I never realised you are US based, the same product is readily available there at $52, yes we live in RIP OFF UK. you could also try a glazier supplier, I understand it is used on domestic windows.

There's a anti glare film out here: http://www.radtech.us/Products/ClearCal-Displays.aspx
Still, I don't understand why Apple doesn't produce an 27" antiglare screen as optioned with the MBP...
I will buy the product above and let you know the results.

We purchased 2 of these at $40 each from Radtech. The first one was destroyed due to not knowing how to get it on properly. It takes patience and two people and you need to lay the monitor on its back to do it. After putting the second one on, we noticed no difference. Save your money and don't buy the Radtech antiglare for the 27" display.
