Anti-Glare screens for monitors

This might sound really stupid, but are Anti-Glare screens reversible (i. e. does it matter which side should be towards you?)?

This might sound really stupid, but are Anti-Glare screens reversible (i.e. does it matter which side should be towards you?)? I recently bought one for my 17 monitor and noticed that the grounding wire (connected to one edge of anti-glare screen) is rather short and it wouldn't reach the back of my CPU (the neareast grounded metal object available) if I mount the anti-glare screen with the beige side facing the user (the plastic frame assembly is beige on one side and black on the other; the packaging shows the anti-glare screen mounted with the beige side out so that it blends with most monitors which are beige). I tried it backwards (black side out) which seemed to have no difference on the display's appearance, but at least the grounding wire could reach far enough to the back of the CPU though the black border does make my monitor look kinda silly.

the antiglare (from light outside the monitor) is one sided.
the polarizing properties (from monitor to eyes) is 2sided
the ground wire prevents static buildup between the monitor and the shield
(keeps the dust down) is 2 sided

twist another wire to the one there and make it longer?
