Privacy for Laptops
Any recommendations for making the screens on your laptops "private" (i.e., can't be viewed at an angle)? Not that I'm doing anything bad... just gives me a weird feeling when the pax next to me checks in on my doings once in a while...

I believe that 3M makes a screen protector-type thing that does this. Hey, I even Googled for you:

I hope y'all weren't thinking I was lazy or FT/internet inept. I was seeing if any FTers used products that they would/would not recommend. ^
EDIT: Crap... I have a 12" 16:9 aspect ratio... I'm gonna guess this isn't a standard size

Check out this site, as it also addresses 16:9:

I'd like to have one for my 16:9 Dell 700m, so I can watch PG-13 and R-rated DVDs without worrying if my neighbor will get offended by any of the material.

I have the same Dell. Also same concerns, along with being able to work on confidential papers and such.
EDIT: $135! Maybe I'll just carry some non-disclosure agreements and liability waivers with me

I was scared away from the price too since I will be paying out of pocket. I then checked on ebay and saw the same brands were going for around $25 if you could find your size.
Nobody bid in the next 24 hours though because its mine

This is exactly what I use on my Sony VAIO (work #1), Toughbook (work #2), Compaq (dw) and HP (mine) laptops. I also have a similar filter on my work monitor since my regular desk is *near* a window and Security thinks that a contortionist might, possibly, maybe could wrap her head around a wall and partition and see my screen
...so everyone within 2 desks of the windows have to use monitor filters.
