You may have heard about the screen protectors and how they help you keep your device screen scratch-free and even limit cracking in many cases. A privacy screen protector not only does that but also enables you to protect your data from nosy people.
How exactly does it do that? Well, it basically comes with an extra layer that limits the angle from which you can view what’s on the device screen. This means that while you can see everything when looking at it head-on, someone seated beside you won’t be able to see anything.
While many people may not mind a peep from a stranger, these screen protectors are definitely worth considering. We live in an information era where someone can easily find out who you work for, what routes you take, where you eat, shop and bank etc. from your screen alone.
Two-or four-way privacy
If you go for the two way option, the darkened screen for those outside the viewing angle only occurs when the device is in a particular orientation; either portrait or landscape depending on the device used. This option works well for instances where you might want to show someone else what’s on your display. All you have to do is tilt the device into the other orientation.
Two-way privacy screens offer a narrower viewing angle which is 30 degrees either side of the lit display which in essence means a better privacy effect.
On the other hand, the four way option has you covered in all scenarios. Any prying eyes will have to be within the viewing angle to see anything, whether the device is in portrait or landscape orientation.
