screen glare

Display light bounce

Screen glare is the harsh reflection or brightness on a display that makes it difficult to see.

It comes from light sources—windows, overhead fixtures—bouncing off the screen surface: I had to close the blinds because of the screen glare.

Anti-glare coatings and matte screens reduce the problem.
