3M PF500 XL - display privacy filter

Advantages: Keeps private information private
Disadvantages: it can look like your sitting infront of a switched off pc!

...In our world now data protection is oh so important and we have to ensure that if we are handling peoples personal information we have to handle it in a way that it is kept secure and not leaked to anyone else. This is vital especially in my line of work as I deal with children's information. As a precaution we have all been issued with these screen filters which are totally different and unique from the normal anti glare filters that you can buy to cover your screen to prevent glare. This filter fits over any pc monitor, but are mostly suited for 16” - 18” monitors. It clips over the top edge of your monitor and stays inplace by stick on velcro. When you are sitting directly in front of the pc you are able to clearly see the screen and what is being displayed on the screen. However people who walk past you or stand diagonally... Read review

Advantages: Reduced viewing angle, Protection & Privacy, Anti-glare, Visual filter, Simple to attach
Disadvantages: None

...The Kensington Shield TFT Privacy Filter is designed for display privacy. I had this for my old 15" TFT monitor and it worked pretty well. I bought it at the time for the anti-glare feature and easy use as I didn't want to glue or use any type of Velcro pads on my monitor. So this was ideal for those reasons.

This is also a visual filter making it more comfortable for you to look at your screen for long hours at a time. The built in anti-glare feature reduces glare by up to a huge 99%.

Advantages: Pay more, get a great product
Disadvantages: Well you have to pay more!

...I brought this 1800xl because of the 15inch display, 12gb hdd and 500mhz pentium 3. Its great, the dvd playback is stunning, the display is massive, and the internal 100mbit network card is very handy. Three points to remember with compaq products. 1) The older models do not compare with the newer models, remember the newer models have atx motherboards. 2) Even my laptop is upgradable, the cpu is a standard chip used by most manufactures like gateway etc!! 3) The bottom of the line models are a bit slow and pants, such as the 1200xl with its amd processor and HPA display, but pay a little extra for tft display's and more memory and they are great!...
