Review on Kantek SVL18.5W Secure-View Blackout Privacy Filter for 18.5-Inch Widescreen Monitors (16:9 Aspect Ratio) - Anti-Glare & Anti-Blue Light by Brian Cheney

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not what I expected.

I bought this product hoping for privacy and the promised anti-reflective coating. It does offer privacy right on the sides, but if you move further away it doesn't matter what angle you're at as the screen can be viewed. As he sat right in front of him, black bars also appeared which I believe was a special 'band' used for privacy. I turned the brightness up all the way on the monitor, but it was still too dark. Overall I found it too difficult for the user to work effectively as it made the monitor appear dark and streaky. I immediately repackaged the item and asked for a return label. This seems to be the first time I've given anything back to Revane.

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Not bad
