I read somewhere that this apparently is also one of the patterns in the book A Pattern Language by Christopher Alexander. I don't own a copy yet so I can't confirm this.

Workplaces and workspaces are the subject of patterns at each scale. Windows and light are also themes.

Patterns are listed here: http://www.patternlanguage.com/leveltwo/patternsframegreen.h...

The book is excellent, I can't vouch for membership on the website.

The biggest issue with computer monitors and light is of course, glare.

Looks like a great book - adding it to my wish list. Thanks
