I use a 30-inch Apple Cinema Display in a bright room, and even with a calibrated workflow it’s hard to keep the display brightness low enough for reliable soft-proofing during the day. I tried a cardboard hood, but it isn’t sturdy or practical. I found the MacHood made for Apple Cinema Displays, but the sellers I found are in Europe. Is there a US source for this hood, or a similar monitor hood from a US maker that would work on the 30-inch Cinema Display?

Does it have to be MacHood?
A quick google search on apple cinema display hood turned up this product.
I can't vouch for the seller or manufacturer, but according to the website, they have a 30 day money back guarantee.

Generated from our catalog & community — verify before relying on it.
Yes—this is a reasonable thing to look for, and it doesn’t have to be the MacHood specifically. Community feedback suggests searching for an "Apple Cinema Display hood," which turns up alternative third-party monitor hoods for the 30-inch display from non-European sellers. One answer specifically mentions finding such a product with a 30-day money-back guarantee, though they couldn’t personally vouch for that seller.
So if MacHood itself isn’t available domestically, the practical answer is to look for compatible third-party monitor hoods marketed for the Apple Cinema Display rather than limiting your search to that one brand.
