Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of 3M Privacy Filter for Standard Notebook Computers with a 14.1" diagonally measured display
Customer Review: Best for what it is...
Summary: 4 Stars
I'd give it 5 stars if it was cheaper - hard to believe I paid $40+ much for a piece of platic but 3M found a niche with a captive audience. I travel 100k plus on planes and this has allowed me to be much less wary of someone seeing confidential information on my screen. I asked my wife sitting next to me on the plane one time of she could see my screen with this filter on and she said no, only if she leaned over into my part of the seat. I do dim the brightness a bit as well and use the side with max protection. So I'm confident that I'd notice someone leaning over for any extended period of time and now work comfortably absorbed in my work rather than having to be aware whether someone is watching. I also use it on my normal train rides to/from city.Customer Review: Must have for business travelers
Summary: 5 Stars
If you travel a bit and ever wonder if someone is looking at your screen - they are...trust me ;) A friend of mine was using one of these and I thought ok - I shall too...until I saw the cost...make work buy it for you - it's a simple investment in better security & privacy (make sure you have your other must have security products installed as well.) It installs quickly and the only bad thing I can say about it is that the tabs you use to hold it in place collect dust. Overall though it doesn't take much getting used to, it works quite well even at brighter settings and it also comes out quickly if you need to provide someone a better view of your screen.Customer Review: Excellent privacy solution when flying
Summary: 5 Stars
I decided to buy this product after a recent flight. I was watching Team America - World Police and had to scramble to close my laptop when a couple of puppets started to do the wild thing. Who knew? I didn't want my seat neighbor to think I was some kind of perv with a puppet fetish.
Now that I have the screen I always use it on the plane and in airports. It frees me to work on everything from sensitive business documents to my own creative writing without worrying about prying eyes.
The screen has such a narrow line of sight that it even works in coach where you are almost sitting on your neighbor's lap.
Customer Review: Good glare protection - not great privacy protection.
Summary: 3 Stars
I have a very glossy laptop screen. This filter really cut down on the reflections. But I agree with the other reviewer who pointed out that the filter doesn't really provide blackout privacy until the viewer is at an extreme angle. Someone sitting next to you might have some difficulty seeing the exact text you are keying, but they can definitely see the layout and graphics of the page you are working on. The original TV commercial for this product led me to believe that nobody would be able to see anything on your screen unless they were directly in front of it. That is not the case with this product.Customer Review: Very Nice!
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this for my T43 IBM ThinkPad. It fit nicely. The screen holders look slightly flimsy, but I don't take the screen off. I leave it on even when I shut down. I find it very nice for travelling. I don't have to worry about someone 2ft away from me viewing my desktop. Although it does not completely shut out prying eyes, it does limit. Your neighbors will be able see what you are viewing, but not very clearly. I was hesitant about the purchase but now that I have it, I find that I am less reluctant to work when someone is next to me.
