Also early computers with monochrome CRTs often shipped with actual silk screen pressed between the case and CRT. It was a trade-off, you'd lose a bit of sharpness but there would be no room reflection whatsoever. The Kaypro 10 was a dream machine in its time, it had a bare CRT with a 'matte' glass surface that had been slightly etched. Sharp characters with no layer of silk in the way. I still emulate the Kaypro 10 with its dull/bright green on black phosphors for coding.
