    Hiya

    Been looking into getting something for protecting my monitor (above) whilst not in use, from dust , sun etc etc.

    I have seen some nice cloth covers by Radtech here: iMac Display Covers, Apple Cinema Display Covers, iMac Mice, Bluetooth Adapter, Tools, Scratch Remover, and More - RadTech Products but they are for the Apple screens....dont know if they will fit my Ultrasharp as its probably ALOT thicker than the cinema displays.

    Would be great if someone could confirm if they do or not....or even give me some other suggestions on a good quality cover along the same lines as above.

    Cheers and TIA.

    Those covers are tight fitting, so I do not think the apple cover will fit.
    I use to cover my desktop screen with a regular cloth. It is not as fancy as a real cover, but it does its job.

    Yeah, they seem tight fitting but they do have a drawstring to tighten them. I was more concerened about the thickness of my U2410 opposed to the Apple Cinema displays and wether it would fit.

    I could just use a cloth but ideally wanted something purpose built for the job.

    Order a large piece of microfiber cloth, sew it together, cut off excess cloth.

    Done :)
