HP Adds Privacy Screens to Elite Laptops

Print

HP Elite laptopsHP Elite laptops get a bit more secure with Sure View technology providing an integrated privacy screen, the result of a partnership with 3M to fight "visual hacking" (or people looking over the user's shoulders).

The privacy screen restricts viewing angles to a 70-degree arc directly in front of the display, and cuts 95% of the light directed to the cut off sides. Activating the privacy screen involves a simple press of a keyboard shortcut, and the result should be less cumbersome and less permanent than the stick-on "privacy filters" currently available on the market.

The feature is initially found in the touchscreen versions of the Elitebook 840 and 1040 laptops shipping from September 2016, before hitting the non-touchscreen versions hitting the market from October.
