+LCD Shadow control
+------------------
+
+procfs: /proc/acpi/ibm/lcdshadow
+
+Some newer T480s and T490s ThinkPads provide a feature called
+PrivacyGuard. By turning this feature on, the usable vertical and
+horizontal viewing angles of the LCD can be limited (as if some privacy
+screen was applied manually in front of the display).
+
+procfs notes:
+
+The available commands are:
+
+	echo '0' >/proc/acpi/ibm/lcdshadow
+	echo '1' >/proc/acpi/ibm/lcdshadow
+
+The first command ensures the best viewing angle and the latter one turns
+on the feature, restricting the viewing angles.
+
+
 EXPERIMENTAL: UWB
