Abstract: A video monitor shade (2) is removably mounted to a video monitor (4) to shield the video screen (104) from glare. The video shade includes a generally horizontal top shade (8, 60, 80), having a horizontal portion and a downwardly and forwardly extending second portion (102), and a pair of side shades secured to the lateral ends (10) of the top shade. Portions of the top and side shades extend forward of the video screen to shield the video screen from unwanted glare. The video shade is supported on the monitor by mounting screws (22), mounted to the side shades and having heads (24) which press against the sides (26) of the video monitor housing (6). The head can press against the housing directly or through an L-shaped adapter (44). The adapter includes a U-shaped receptacle or channel (52) configured for vertically supporting and horizontally housing the head of the mounting screw.
