There are two kinds, the first is a sort of matte coating or slightly
sandblasted surface. This has been used for years and years. More recent,

the same AR stuff that is applied to glasses.
New newer, more costly version shouldn't be a problem for viewing, but the
old stuff, where the matte surface faces the viewer, sucks.
