There\u2019s nothing worse than being sprung checking your Facebook at work, right? Maybe. Other than being caught doing things other than work in the workplace, there are more serious privacy issues.<\/p>

Some things you don\u2019t want others seeing, especially if you\u2019re in a public space such as a caf\u00e9 or airport lounge. In these instances, a\u00a0privacy filter can protect your computer screen from prying eyes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

If\u00a0privacy is less of an issue than dry, red eyes from staring at a screen all day, then an anti-glare filter is a more appropriate choice. If you\u2019ve\u00a0tried most of the popular solutions; shifting the window blinds, changing the angle of your laptop or monitor in relation to light sources, adjusting the brightness of the LCD screen<\/a><\/strong> or even increasing the font size on the screen, then a longer-term solution is in order.<\/p>

Privacy Filter<\/h2>

Do you ever feel like someone is watching over your shoulder when you are working on your computer or laptop? Whether you are in the office, on public transport, or in meetings, privacy screen filters<\/a><\/strong> are an easy way of protecting your private and confidential work. And yes, you can check your private email securely too \u2013 not that we condone that kind of behaviour!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

A privacy computer screen appears as a solid wall of colour from the side but remain crystal clear to the computer user. The Kensington Privacy Filter blacks out the screen entirely from sideways vision but keeps it clear and undistorted to the user. For a more glamorous option, the 3M screen filter provides a gold wall of protection, with the same sharp text and images maintained for the user.<\/p>

Sure View<\/h2>

Sure View<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0is a built-in electronic\u00a0privacy screen which darkens the screen at the touch of a button. It reduces light by 95% when the screen is viewed from an angle, providing instant\u00a0privacy from curious busybodies around you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Designed by HP and 3M brands, their integrated\u00a0privacy screen helps to reduce\u00a0visual hacking and\u00a0liminates\u00a0the need to stick an additional\u00a0privacy filter onto your screen, as a one-touch system obscures the view from prying eyes.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Sure\u00a0View is integrated with selected HP EliteBook laptops and some 2 in 1 devices.<\/p>

Anti-Glare Filters<\/h2>

When you are staring at a computer screen for most of your day, eye protection for your eyes is important and the short-term symptoms of eye fatigue (headaches, difficulty focusing and blurred vision) can make your life difficult.\u00a0 An anti\u00a0glare screen\u00a0protector<\/a><\/strong> can help reduce glare and reflections in a wide variety of lighting conditions.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Screen protectors also come with the added benefit of protecting your screen from fingerprints, scratches and damages, and many are compatible with touch screens. They\u2019re a great idea for reducing eye-strain without a hefty bill for a new set of prescription glasses.<\/p>

How to fit a screen protector<\/h2>

This might seem a really obvious step, but sometimes the basic things are the most overlooked.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

There are two types of screens: raised bezel and flat front. While flat screens are becoming more commonplace, many cheaper or older monitors still use the raised bezel style.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

If you have a raised bezel screen, measure only within the viewable area. Flat screens can be measured from edge to edge.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Screen protectors<\/strong><\/a> from COS are easy to place and remove\u00a0 and are available for computer monitor and laptop screens.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
