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 James Wiley

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Darkens well from the sides

I used to buy privacy filters from online retailers that cost less than $100 and was disappointed because all of those filters blurred the screen when viewed from the extreme sides. But this one does a pretty good job of "dimming" the screen for less than $100. When I received it I wanted to "try" it without removing the backing so I could return it in pristine condition if it didn't meet my expectations. With a plastic back it looked like it would be another disappointment. But when I set it up as advertised I was impressed, how much it dims the screen compared to those at a 45 degree angle directly in front of the screen. I am very happy with this purchase.

Pros
  • Notebook accessories
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
