The Hoodman H-1214 sun hood was developed for monitors with a screen diagonal of 12 to 14 inches. It reduces unwanted ambient light and improves visibility of the monitor image in bright lighting conditions.
The deep design effectively shields the monitor against light entering from the sides and above. This makes the Hoodman H-1214 particularly suitable for outdoor use, filming in direct sunlight, field monitoring, and mobile video productions.
The sun hood is a practical solution when larger reference monitors need to be reliably read under difficult lighting conditions.
