Privacy is something very important to me, and I think most people feel the same way as I do. If I'm sitting in the local coffee shop with my laptop I really don't want people looking to see what I'm doing, even if it's just browsing the web or writing a review, it doesn't matter to me what it is really, it comes down to the fact that I feel it's none of their business what I'm doing.

Normally what I'm doing isn't some state secret or something confidential, but what if you are doing something like that? Then you really don't want people to see what you're doing do you? If you're in an airport or coffee shop with lots of people, it's very easy for people to see what you're doing if they really want to. 3M has come out with a Privacy Filter called the Vikuiti for just such occasions, it can be used on your laptop or on a standard LCD or CRT display. It's very easy to install, lightweight and it works very well...

3M Privacy Filters

Keep wandering eyes off your laptop with reassuring, removable 3M Privacy Filters. Uncanny 3M microlouver technology helps block out side views while you see your screen clear as ever. You have to not see it to believe it.

Privacy Protection - What is it?

3M Privacy Filters help block the screen view from anyone viewing the computer from a side view. 3M's unique microlouver privacy technology allows persons directly in front of the computer to see on screen data clearly.

Why is it important?

With personal information disclosure laws becoming more restrictive, plus identity theft and corporate information loss costing companies billions of dollars a year, protecting your confidential information is more critical than ever.

How can a 3M Privacy Filter help me?

3M Privacy Filters use screen darkening privacy technology, rather than common blurring or distorting of screen data to prevent casual onlookers from viewing your screen.

It's easier on your eyes 

Protects your on screen data in high traffic areas
