Making a Privacy Monitor From an Old LCD
ryzvonusef writes "Instructables Member 'Dimovi' utilized a spare LCD monitor and converted it into a 'privacy' monitor. He took apart the monitor's plastic frame, cutting out the polarized film with a utility knife and removed the film adhesive from the glass panel before reassembling the monitor, which now shines a bright white regardless of what is actually being displayed on the screen. He then removed the lenses from a pair of theater 3D glasses, and replaced it with the polarized film he had just removed from the monitor. Now, he is the only one who can see what he is doing on his computer."
Cool and clever hack. But it assumes that what you're displaying on the screen is more embarrassing than being seen wearing 3D glasses. An easier solution would be to just never let anyone into your lair.

Immediately thought of This.
When you don't want anyone seeing what is on the screen aren't you usually naked? Glasses aren't going to hide much, IMHO.
Having to work for a living is the root of all evil.
A notebook screen should be fundamentally the same.
As for the idea of watching porn during an airplane flight... the image on the screen is only the beginning of why doing that is frowned upon.

Pffftrrrt. Wake me up when they come up with a polarized PROJECTED image with seperate frequencies for each viewer. That would be kindof impressive.
I think we can keep recursing like this until someone returns 1
But wouldn't anyone with a pair of polarizing sunglasses be able to see your screen?
I don't know enough about such things to know. I lent out my copy of Newton's Optics, and I keep my polarized sunglasses in a secret compartment I cut into the Enumeration of Lines of the Third Order.
Anyway, leave me alone. I'm trying to kill Al Ghul and bang Talia without having to squat in the Lazarus Pit.
You are welcome on my lawn.
Earphones have already solved the audio side of the problem.
At which point you go "National Security. If you had the security clearance, you'd have the glasses to see past the security layer. Good day, sir."
Still waiting on Serviscope_minor to wake up to fucking reality and realize that Jessica Price isn't going to fuck him.
