Privacy screen question

[Brian D. Jennison]

I've never used the Image One products but have used and am currently using 
the 3M privacy screens.  The 3M screens work well on our 17" monitors. 
 From the side, you can see only complete black.  As the sharpness of the 
angle from the side decreases, the screen's contents start to come into 
view  - until it's perfectly clear looking directly on.
It would have been nice to be able to permanently attach the screens out of 
the box.  (I believe they include some sticky pads to keep it in place.)

We just received 2 privacy screens for our public Internet stations on a
2 week evaluation period from Image One. They fit the monitors extremely
well and are well made but I think we were expecting the screen to be
'blacked out' from the side angles. All they seem to do though is blur
regular text. Font sizes above 18 or so and pictures are blurred but
still visible and readable.

If anyone has any experience / opinion / comments about these as
compared to the 3M product, I'd appreciate any input.

Thank you,
