Guys, my new monitor is blindingly bright after pulling the protective film off.
nice lifehack
Wear polarizing sunglasses and now only you can see the screen. Hardware based incognito mode.
Wife actually accidentally did this once :/
I have definitely seen TVs where there is a top transparant plastic layer that looks like protective film but is absolutely not supposed to come off. I’ve even seen two models of OLED TVs that are very similar, and have plastic on the metal backing. On one of them it says to absolutely not remove the plastic. On the other it says to make sure to remove it, otherwise the TV will overheat.
Even if you know a lot about these kinds of things, don’t be proud and just read the manual / quick start guide. It will tell you what plastic needs to be removed and what needs to stay.
RTFM is a superpower. Manufacturers also spend a ton of time making these.

I do … she just had a real moment that day.
To be fair, the screen surface did protrude past the bezel, which is rather unusual.

Props to her! My gf struggles when peeling a banana
Why can’t your right hand peel a banana?
it’s made with a non-slip surface.
You were supposed to soak it in water first
Pull the layer off, make glasses out of if. Voilla, privacy monitor
