Product Description

Product Description

The Targus 15.4 Widescreen Notebook Privacy Filter is designed to fit 15.4 widescreen laptops. To protect your information, tiny vertical blinds on the surface of the screen narrow the viewing angle so data is only visible directly in front of the monitor up to 45 degrees away from the center of the screen. Onlookers will only see a dark unclear screen when attempting to view the information from a side angle. In addition to providing security, the privacy filter also blocks the glare to help reduce eye strain. The Targus Notebook Privacy Filter can be easily attached by using clear adhesive strips designed for LCD screens or with the included tab guides that stick to the edge of the LCD screen to hold the filter in place. Users can position the tabs so the filter easily slides on and off. Highly portable and easy to use, the Targus privacy screen protects valuable information on a laptop and LCD monitor from onlookers.

1.0 out of 5 stars Privacy only from certain angles, June 18, 2009

By	Emily Burns (Boston, MA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this as a privacy filter for work. I work in a cube and can't stand people coming up behind me. For this purpose, it does not work. Even at a 45 degree angle, if you are any distance from the screen, you can still see it very well. It would work decently well for an airline seat, because the angle is more acute (more like 15 degrees). Do bear in mind your reason for purchasing. It's very expensive for what it is. Makes me wish I were in the privacy screen business!

4.0 out of 5 stars Targus privacy filter, August 9, 2008

By	John H. Maberry (Virginia, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The product works fine for the purpose it is intended--as a privacy filter. I bought it primarily for the anti-glare properties to be able to use my laptop outdoors. It works OK for that but it does darken the screen a bit more than I would like. If I could make the laptop display brighter that would be a solution but it seems not to be adjustable in that way.

4.0 out of 5 stars as good as expected, April 30, 2009

By	L. Wang (North America) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'd 3M privacy filter on my other notebook for years. Targus filter works as good as 3M's. Even the "Thumb / Notch area" in top right side are the same. I couldn't help to guess the relationship between these 2. Besides the "Tab", Targus also offer double sided transparent tape, which is what I'm using now. "Tab" can provide an option to slot in and out the filter, but it looks ugly and dust builds upon it.

Might need more time to test out its claimed "anti glare" feature. Based on my 3M experience, polarized filter actually limit and diffuse glare, but never remove it. Right expectation makes me a happier customer.
