Expensive, but good quality and does what it says on the tin.
Second one of these privacy screens that I’ve had. Pricey, but excellent and easy to attach and remove to your laptop screen. I use the option provided to stick it on permanently.Unless someone is directly behind you they will really struggle to see your laptop screen The two sides provide a gold and dark option. I use the gold side as I think it looks much better and reflects the price (no pun intended).My colleagues have other options so I know that you can get much cheaper options that will work for you just as well, but we’ve all agreed this is the premier privacy screen of the ones we all have.

Pretty damn good.2016
When I'm working on the go or at my client and partner offices I need to know my laptop and it's content remains secure.This privacy screen works fantastically at doing just that. The angles are great! People literally have to invade your personal space and come up behind you to see your screen.It's super easy to install and remove as needed and works well as an anti-glare screen too.If you have a micro-manager who is always looking over your shoulder this is ideal! and if asked tell them it's just an anti-glare screen, they can't stop you from using it ;).Best thing I've ever bought for the office!Fast delivery and product came in great condition. Though it isn't cheap, it makes the product even better because few people have them or even know they exist.

Affects the view too much and doesn't work well
Nicely packaged. It comes with three double sided tapes to stick the filter to the screen, and it also comes with a set filter holders to stick to the edge of the screen to slot the filter into place. The filter can be black or gold forwards, I found it made little difference except one looks a shade of gold and one a shade of black (you know what I mean!) from the side. It also comes with a cleaning cloth and instructions. The size is prefect for a 15.6 inch screen.That's all there is good about it. The efficacy is disappointing to say the least on both side (I went for the black in the end). There are five main issues with it which together make it a waste of money for me - I had to remove it in the end:1. Moving from directly in front to round the side, it rapidly goes dark for the first 30 degree or so. But then it stops getting dark all the way round to the side. I do quite a bit of graphics work on the laptop and I can see the images I'm working on in a shade of dark grey all the way to an almost side-on view of the screen. Text is not legible but images are, so it is probably acceptable to keep text private only.2. The problem with it rapidly half-working is that looking at the screen head-on, the edges are darker than the centre! This is a big distraction for me. I find myself moving my head from side to side to see the whole screen in the same shade.3. It significantly reduced the brightness. I normally have my screen to about half brightness and now have to turn it right up to achieve the same brightness. (Which means I can do less work on the train because of the impact on battery life!).4. The screen itself has a clearly visible mesh of parallel fine diagonal lines over it. If it was just darker, I could cope by turning up the brightness to the maximum as above, but looking through a diagonal mesh is very distracting.5. The double-sided fixers are down the left, just where the icons are and they are very visible (they make the screen look "cheap"). OK, I could move the icons, but surely the filter should work for me, not the other way round?If you work only with text, have an amazing battery life (or work off the mains only), don't mind looking through a fine wire mesh, and don't mind the edges of the screen darker then the middle, then you may find this filter OK. But, for me, these things are too much of a distraction and unfortunately, this is over £40 very much not well spent. I shall look elsewhere.

Blinding, in a good way!
My main concern about using this was that screen/text clarity would be too impaired as I'm failry sensitive to distortion/sharpness but I've had this fitted to my laptop for 2x12-hour shifts and so far I'm very impressed with it. The level of clarity is fantastic and doesn't cause me any issues even with my extended windows of use. The privacy element kicks in such that colleagues sat to my left, right and diagonally behind me can't see any confidential information but instead are presented with a solid gold/orange screen. Fitting was simple, the slide mount tabs allow for smooth removal and replacement as necessary. My only gripe so far is it appears to be something of a fingerprint/dust magnet, probably to do with it being gloss compared to my matte laptop display but ultimately this is manageable as I'm focussed more on my work than fluff.

Nosey, Nosey...
Excellent product though suggest you consider getting the next size up.The product itself is of good quality and offers excellent privacy. I estimate the viewing angle is around 45 degrees from the central position and my screen cannot be seen from a distance of 2 meters away. It also seems to create greater static and hence attracts more dust on the screen. So remember to wipe the screen a little more oftenSize: If you get the exact size, the screen will sit properly unto your laptop. However, there is a slight loss of visibility as the filter edges may obscure some words around the edges of your screen. The next size up is better, however, the filter now does not sit properly and can occasionally pops out of the fixing plastics. This is not an issue for me as I easily pop it back in the morning.
