Introduction:

A monitor filter is an accessory to the computer display to filter out the light reflected from the smooth glass surface of a CRT or flat screen display as well as the radiation emitted from CRT and LCD displays. Many also include a ground to dissipate static buildup. A secondary use for monitor filters is privacy as they decrease the viewing angle of a monitor, preventing it from being viewed from the side; in this case, they are also called privacy screens.
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 screen also blocks the glare to help reduce eye strain. It 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 screen in place. Users can position the tabs so the screen easily slides on and off.
