Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Fellowes Flat Panel Privacy Filter for 14.1-Inch Wide Laptop (4800601)
Customer Review: Good for general use, but not perfect
Summary: 4 Stars
Other than a knock-off I found on eBay that was nearly perfect, I've never found a brand of privacy screen that has all the features I like.
The IDEAL privacy screen:
1) No visual pattens when looking straight on
2) Full blocking of screen at side angles, even on high brightness
3) Covers entire screen (No notches)
4) No stamping or printing that obscurs part of the screen
5) Reasonable price
THIS privacy screen hits the mark on 4 and 5. There are diagonal lines that are visible (albeit faintly) when looking at the screen. They become more obvious when the screen is brighter. However, at high brightness, the view of the screen starts to become visible at side angles. Plus, the notch on the top bugs me, although I can imagine it would be convenient for someone who takes the screen off a lot.
Apparently, that's about the best you can get. For comparison, I have a 3M brand privacy screen at work and it succeeds in 1 and 2, and fails on the rest.
In summary, I reluctantly recommend this privacy screen because there is no better option, but see definite room for improvement that manufacturers could take advantage of.
