Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of 3M Privacy Filter -3M PF19 Monitor privacy screen (5:4)
Customer Review: Great for screen protection, so-so for privacy
Summary: 4 Stars
I got this item to use with my newly purchased Viewsonic VA926 LCD monitor. I intended to use this primarily as a screen protector since the computer is in my bedroom and privacy really isn't an issue. It fits perfectly over the LCD screen. It does darken the screen a little, but that can be resolved by increasing the brightness. Clear plastic tabs are supplied to hold it in place. There are six 3/4 inch tabs and two long 3 & 3/4 inch tabs. I opted to use the 3/4 inch tabs as they wouldn't be as obtrusive. The tabs are flat, with adhesive on one half of the tab. These would work great if the LCD screen was almost flush with the frame, which mine wasn't. It's recessed approximately 5mm. I solved this problem by bending the tab so that the part with the adhesive is at a 90° angle to the part without adhesive. The tabs now sit into the recess and hold the filter against the LCD screen. I first installed tabs just on the lower corners to see how it would work out. Just the two tabs held the screen in place so I didn't install any more tabs. The top of the filter where there are no tabs isn't perfectly flush but there isn't any distortion and it looks fine.
At approximately $70.00, this item is very pricey for what it is, but I guess it's cheaper than a damaged LCD screen. As for the privacy aspect, the screen can be seen by someone looking over your shoulders, as other reviewers have stated. Just off to the side of your shoulder, the screen begins to go dark but about one half of the screen closest to the viewer can still be seen. In order for the whole screen to be dark, it would have to be viewed at approximately a 45° angle.
For cost and privacy, I give this item 3 stars. For screen protection, 5 stars, for an overall rating of 4 stars.
