Depending on the student's issues matte vs glossy screen. I've just switched my newish 'glossy' monitors at home for older matte ones which makes a huge difference to readability. I tried an anti glare filter with almost no effect previously :(
It can also be useful to consider lighting environment the student will be using monitors in, can they avoid sources of glare etc?
