Product Overview
Product Overview
The Targus 20-inch Widescreen LCD Monitor Privacy Screen is purpose-built for 20-inch widescreen LCD monitors, providing a critical layer of visual security. It employs tiny vertical blinds on the screen surface to narrow the viewing angle, making data visible only within a 45-degree cone directly in front of the display.
Beyond privacy, this screen actively blocks glare, which significantly reduces eye strain and improves user focus throughout the workday. Its design ensures that onlookers attempting to view information from side angles will only perceive a dark, unclear screen, reinforcing data confidentiality in any professional setting.

- Enhanced User Comfort: Reduces screen glare and reflections, mitigating eye fatigue and enabling longer, more productive work sessions for employees.
- Monitor Protection: Acts as a physical barrier, shielding the underlying 20-inch LCD monitor from scratches, dust, and minor impacts, preserving asset integrity.
- Flexible Application: Easily attaches and detaches, allowing users to apply privacy protection only when needed, adapting to dynamic work environments.
- Compatibility & Build Quality: Engineered to precisely fit 20-inch widescreen LCD monitors, ensuring a secure and effective privacy solution with durable construction.
This privacy screen is an essential investment for organizations prioritizing data security and employee well-being across their monitor fleet.
