595603 2007-09-27 09:01:00 Hi there,

I am looking for a privacy screen for my 19inch lcd at work. I rang corporate express today to get an idea of cost and was told $481+gst!!!!

Is this the going rate? Surely this is robbery. I had expected 1-$200 for one of these. Any suggestions

cheers

To stop others peering at your work is the obvious answer, but this has been a question that has always puzzled me.... why worry?

We use the computer in our office to quote customers and often go to supplier sites to check pricing and availability. We cant really shift the screen out of customer view and dont want them to see costs etc.

595607 2007-09-27 21:05:00 Maybe a cheaper option would to buy an old budget LCD with a crap viewing angle..? :lol: JK.

They do seem extremely expencive. Would it be a bit cheaper to re-arrange your office, or is that not really an option?

Fair call, and probably the best reason for having one that I have heard yet!
(gotta hide that info from the customer!!!)
