LCD Monitor For Your Eyes Only

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the are-you-paranoid? dept.

Bryan_Casto writes "USAToday has an article about Sceptre's new LCD monitor, which hides the screen image from anyone not wearing the glasses that come with the monitor. The screen appears white to ordinary eyes, but with the polarized glasses, the desktop comes into view. "

    I did this with my old ThinkPad 350C it looks pretty sweet. I fully recommend that anyone with an old portable that they want to play around with gives it a shot. The trick is getting the screen cover to pop off, some models are harder than others. But if you can get the top polarized filter out you're golden. Then just replace the top filter with a piece of clear sturdy plastic about the smae thickness (plexiglass works great of you can find it that thin.) Get a pair of old school snowboarding goggles and cut out circles from the filter you removed and fasten them to the inside of the goggles and WALA! Stealth computing. It looks pretty fly when you're hacking away at your portable and there's nothing but a blank screen in front of you.
    And if you really wanna be smooth, try painting over the characters on the keyboard so you have a completely blank terminal in front of you. My thinkpad looks cool this way.
