3M Laptop Privacy anti-peek filter

Argh. I just cannot decide whether or not these supposed “privacy screens” are honestly worth the effort. I mean, don’t they totally fail in a lot of sun light?

Review Mac owners peeved that Apple has only just introduced glossy notebook displays - products the rest of the laptop industry have long since adopted - have a saviour, of sorts, in the Post-it company 3M. So too do notebook users fed up of folk peering over their shoulders to sneak a peek at their screens. 3M has solved both problems with a new line of LCD privacy filters.

The company offers five Laptop Privacy filters for notebooks ranked by screen size. Having just taken possession of a spanking new MacBook Pro, I took a look at the 15.4in filter, but 3M caters for 19in, 18.1in, 17in, 15in, 14.1in, 13.3in and 12.1in screen sizes. With the filter in place, anyone sitting face-on to the machine can see what’s on the screen. Sit either side of them and all you’re supposed to see is black…. Source: Reg Hardware
