Up to now, most niters have been

Up to now, niters have

have meant price

Forget all that:
the Romag CEAF is here
British designed andmanufactured by space age military
technologists, CEAF is profiled to fit
your display screen, giving you the
ultimate in contrast enhancement and
antiglare performance. For under £20,
this first generation ofeye-friendly
filters diffuses all specular reflections,
gives sharper image clarity from edge to
edge ofthe screen and greatly enhances
disiplav colours.
Mounted and removed in seconds by
invisible velcro fastenings, the anti-
static, anti-shatter CEAF is a major step
forwanl in the operational safety of
computerdisplays-unprotectedi
can cause blurred vision, watery and
itchy eyes, headaches and (according to
such authorities as the Institute of
Ophthalmology) even permanent
changes in eyesight.
