Review on Enhance Laptop Privacy with a 12.5 Inch Hanging Widescreen Privacy Screen (16:9 Aspect Ratio) by Joel Gumbiner

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Aggravated Glare

I bought this to cover my 25 inch monitor just to reduce glare. First, it's too big for my monitor. I had to disable the touchscreen because it was interfering with the sensors and rendering my computer unusable. Looking at the privacy shield gave me a headache and created a dazzling halo effect on the screen that is very difficult to describe. Glare wasn't reduced in the slightest, even worse with the privacy screen on. I didn't try to use the supplied adhesive strips because they are too big. On the plus side, you really couldn't see the screen unless you were looking at it head-on. Even if you step back a little, it looked like the screen was off. However, glare is my primary concern, not privacy, so I will be returning this product. UPDATE: Since writing this review, the seller has co-authored me and relentlessly offered to pay me to edit it. I feel this is really a dishonest business practice and now I doubt the good reviews for this product. Buyer warning!
