Reddit mentions: The best monitor anti-glare & privacy filters

I play discreetly at my office, but I'm fortunate to have a computer that faces away from everyone I work with. One thing you can get that could help is a privacy screen for your desktop monitor like this.
I also make sure not to do anything that sounds suspicious, like playing a game where I'm hitting a lot of keys. I even got a silent mouse so my coworkers can't hear how much I'm clicking. And yes, I do still get all my work done! xD

Ouf, concussions can really get rough.

Had a minor concussion a few years back that I still feel effects from, actually :/ there are times where I just can't even look at my computer screen without getting severe headaches and feeling like I'm going to vomit. It's terrible.

No clue what the severity is, but highly recommend installing a blue light filter, or having something like this on your phone/computer. It REALLY helped recovery and with post-concussion syndrome!

Grats on getting to play in the playoffs, good luck next season, and good luck with the recovery!

Oh that is pretty neat! But they are $100!

As much as I love an overengineered solution, I'd just clip one of these to each of my monitors:

Get a privacy screen for your monitor. It obscures the view from any angle except straight on.

Also, once you have 18 months in on the job, start looking for another. Better title, better pay.

Spending your days doing nothing is hurting you as much as it's hurting your employer, because you're not gaining any real skills or expanding your knowledge.

Amazon says you can get it for $75+shipping ... for 6" x 9"! lol ... in September when it comes back in stock.

Yeah I’d bring it up to HR and you can get a privacy screen on Amazon for ~$60

Cover the camera with smart glass. Switch it on and off remotely

That will make the camera invisible while guests are there.

This reminds me of my setup at home. I just attached a mirror that clamps to the top of my monitor and I can see behind me just fine. Any motion gets my attention right away. It's this one

Or, you could just get smart. Lock your computer when you leave, and get one of these.. http://www.amazon.com/3M-Privacy-PF17-0-Monitor-privacy/dp/B000067O6L

You can get privacy screen overlays the you can put on any screen you like laptop or otherwise, that make the screen black from either side.

Like this.

NTA. I would be so annoyed too. You’re paying money for this and it’s your future at stake.

Have you tried a privacy screen so that the only way he can view your screen is if his face is planted next to yours? Here’s one:

15.6" Akamai Computer Privacy Screen (16:9) - Black Security Shield - Laptop Monitor Protector - UV & Blue Light Filter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B012V5A7D6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_vxGLDb2W5N58Q

I would highly recommend a privacy screen over a hard to read font. Even sitting next to you, others won't be able to see through it.

Surprisingly, this solution is much more expensive.

No, this is neither temporary nor reversible. If you really want a removable privacy filter, get something like this and tape it to the edges.

My office uses something similar to this that hangs from the top edge of the monitor.

However, it doesn't prevent staff/doctors from removing it.and placing it to the side.

you probably also want a rear-view mirror for your monitor
e.g.

Don't see why this one wouldn't work. XPS15 is 15.6" right?

Get a privacy screen protector. https://www.amazon.com/Monitor-Privacy-Protector-Compatible-Widescreen/dp/B07SYJLJN5?ref_=Oct_CANReleaseC_15782011_0&pf_rd_r=WXRDRYGH1RCDW6ZNKFDX&pf_rd_p=c48e08b8-c7cb-5478-a680-9c58e7baea83&pf_rd_s=mobile-hybrid-6&pf_rd_t=30901&pf_rd_i=15782011&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER

cover your screen in honey. or get a Screen Guard

We've used this for our X220s :X Double privacy? https://www.amazon.com/3M-12-5W-Privacy-Filter-Lenovo/dp/B004ZHT83O

Option B

Option C

Option D: Set up the observation display in a separate room.

You could use a very tiny font, or a privacy filter.

Get a screen attachment that filters out the light.

It's cheaper and you don't have to worry about violating AR 670-1.

My office recently renovated our cubicles and the three new cubicles for me and my co-workers were all back-on.

Before the renovations started, me and my co-workers demanded that we get some privacy. We occasionally deal with confidential stuff... and it's just shitty to be back-on. So, my manager looked into some options and the cubicle supplier had a ready-made solution. This is what mine look likes.

The door makes a world of difference and it didn't cost my department very much more.

I also have a couple extra things that I've bought myself. One is a little push-button "doorbell". It doesn't make any noise, but it lights up bright-blue LEDs under my monitor.

Another is a simple mirror. More often than not, I know someone's coming to my cubicle before they even push the doorbell.

If that doesn't work, try finding a broken version of your screen and removing the light filter from it. If you tape it over it should work as a privacy screen.

Get one of those mirrors you can stick on your monitor. It will let you see behind you. Here's a link to one on amazon. I bet you can find them cheaper at an office supply store. Sorry for crappy formatting; I'm on mobile.

Clip on mirror (amazon)
