Yes, but widescreen infers a wide aspect ratio. Not necessarily a large
screen.

As should be obvious to anyone with half a brain, I merely put the
decimal place in the wrong position; the correct size is of course 15.4".

As should be obvious to anyone with the other half brain, my comment was
entirely humorous in nature :-)

Well, yeah, but it's not as funny that way. ;-)

It allows you to work on the plane, train etc on confidential stuff, also
good for meetings if you're sat next to the customer :-) We got a few free
samples from 3M for our laptops, it works pretty well. It comes with some
small clips that you stick onto the laptop, so you can attach and remove the
filter easily. There is some electronic version going around (ie you can
control from software whether the viewing angle is wide or narrow) not sure
if it is in any product yet (probably some phone in Japan!).

That would explain the 1.54" :-)
