Has anyone been annoyed with the lack of glare protection
on their tablets? We have a Motion Computing M1400, and
the glare is pretty much a distraction. We are planning
to deploy it in a Primary Care setting where patients
will be filling out the forms with these, and since we
cannot turn off the lights, we need another solution.

Is anywhere aware of any anti-glare products for this
model? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Many people have posted that screen protectors help with the glare on
Tablets.

Motion has an M1400 with a View Anywhere screen that works very well in
bright lights, even in bright sunlight if you plan on buying additional
machines.

Have you tried turning down the display brightness using the Motion
Dashboard?

I have more of a problem with mine showing all the oil from handling
throughout a normal day. It gets pretty ugly sometimes. You may end up
having to clean it frequently. As far as glare, the M1400 has met my
expectations.

You know what makes a dandy little clean-up tool for that? Those little
wipes for glasses, like the pre-moistened Lens Cloths available from
Wal-Mart Vision Centers. They're gentle, don't scratch and do a good job
cleaning the screens.

If I'm quick enough, I can clean my glasses and a Tablet PC screen with the
same cloth. 8-)

Hi Chris,

Aren't they a paper product? I thought that the manual indicated that we
shouldn't use any wood by-product to clean the screen. Did I misunderstand?

I don't believe they are paper, Howard. I know my wife, who is an optician,
gets after me if I try to use anything else on my glasses. She says the
cloth wipes are good for even plastic lenses.

Well how can they be disposable if they're not a paper product? I know they
can be cloth but it doesn't sound very economical.

I've been using the scotch-brite cloth that came with it and a little water
from my water bottle.

That works too, Howard. I'll have to check on the other product's contents.

If they can make lavatory paper out of cotton I'm sure that disposable
screen/spectacle wipes can't be a problem.

Is there any indication on the machine that you have the ViewAnywhere screen
? My M1400 seems to have a good screen and handles different light levels
well, but there's nowhere I can see that it actually confirms that its
ViewAnywhere, as opposed to just being a good screen.

Hi Mike, I'm not sure about which product you're referring to but I found
following FAQ at the Cottonelle site. I assume that by lavatory paper you're
referring to toilet paper.

Is Cottonelle® Toilet Paper made with any recycled fiber?
No, it is made with virgin wood fibers.

Ainsley,

Mine has a label on the back in lower right hand corner stating it is a View
Anywhere display. Did they put something like that on yours?

The M1400's with the View Anywhere option have a label so stating. It is about
a $200-$300 option.

A quick google on '"toilet paper' cotton"' :

1997: TP- Purely Cotton toilet paper is introduced and made from 100% of
cotton and water, no wood. This from a new Seattle based company.
