MMD, the leading display specialist and brand licence partner for Philips monitors, announces the new 24" (23.8" / 60.5 cm) Philips 242B1V LCD monitor. Designed to help professionals to improve productivity while protecting sensitive data and contents from onlookers, this new model features Full HD resolution (1920 x 1080) and SmartImage to display images and video as brilliant/crisp as possible.
 
The Philips 242B1V instantly creates privacy with an easily switchable privacy mode, preventing visual hacking and hiding the screen from people around in open offices and co-working spaces. This new innovative feature is indeed specifically designed for those companies and professionals dealing with sensitive data that need to ensure its confidentiality even more. This Philips Privacy Mode offers an integrated solution for privacy without the hassle of clumsy screen protectors. By simply pressing a button, the screen appears dark and barely visible from both sides, while at the same time presenting a clear image from the front. Thanks to the Philips Privacy Mode introduction, only the user directly in front of the display can read content on the screen, benefitting from a more secure way to work.
 
Privacy-enhancing, high-performing and eco-friendly, the Philips 242B1V monitor is available from mid-June 2020 with an MSRP of £399.
 
If your company values privacy this could be a tremendous asset in my opinion.

Not really innovative.  HP's offered Sure View since 2016, adding the solution to displays in an announcement at CES last year, and Lenovo offered their Privacy Guard back in 2018 on a few laptop models.

+1  & add-on screens long before that
 
beside other than on laptops ... so you can work on your flight .... just why would you need this on a desk top ... control access is much better
