These would be locking shades, four of them that extend from each side of the screen, to block out advertising. They would be physical shades that roll up just like regular window shades.

       The name made me think the shades had the ads on them. Maybe rename like BlockOut Shades...

       How would a physical screen filter advertisements? And why would I need this, when there are excellent software ad-blockers available?

       So, not made by Joo Janta.   

       You could make these much cheaper by printing ads on them.

       And [spidermother], I'm still laughing!!

       I recently saw a photo (possibly on YouTube, but I forget...) of a piece of cardboard taped to the side of a monitor to do exactly this.
