Targus Offers Privacy Filters for Computer Screens of Any Size

ANAHEIM, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Targus^® Inc., maker of the world’s top-selling laptop computer cases and accessories, today announced its DEFCON® Privacy Filters are now available for most all popular laptop and LCD monitor sizes. Targus’ Privacy Filters are designed to safeguard information on your screen from prying eyes while also reducing your monitor’s glare, thus lessening eye strain.

“The Privacy Filters are designed to protect your personal data from curious bystanders while using your laptop or LCD monitor at your desk or in public places such as coffee shops, libraries, airplanes and classrooms.”

“With the increased number of publicly reported data breaches, protecting information on your computer screen is vital to your security and the security of your company,” said Al Giazzon, vice president of marketing at Targus. “The Privacy Filters are designed to protect your personal data from curious bystanders while using your laptop or LCD monitor at your desk or in public places such as coffee shops, libraries, airplanes and classrooms.”

Microscopic vertical blinds narrow the viewing angle so that anyone with a viewing distance of more than 45- degrees from the center of the screen sees nothing but a blank, dark screen. All filters are easy to install with the included clear adhesive double-stick strips or tab guides that adhere to the LCD bezel, making it easy to attach and remove the filter as needed. Additionally, the anti-glare feature helps reduce eye-strain associated with computer use.
