Works well but difficult to store and keep clean once removed.

Pros: Works as advertised, thin, good quality, leaves no marks on MacBook, and requires no clips to attach to MacBook. Easy to attach and detach, does not reduce the brightness or clarity of the monitor too much (when viewed directly). Cons: Poor instructions (takes a second to figure out you need to glue the blue stripes to the back of the filter). More importantly, the adhesive strips are missing (there is no adhesive strip on top of my filter now, and when I place the monitor upright, the…

Working properly Computer and Accessories

The product significantly darkens side views but does not produce the severe darkening that some other products provide. This eliminates a range of severely offset viewing angles such as 0 to 15 degrees from the screen plane. There was no mounting hardware in the package and I couldn't figure out how to install the product at first as it didn't come with mounting instructions without mounting hardware but included mounting instructions with two mounting options, neither of which were bundled or

Personal Screen: Laptop Accessory

Very snug fitting screen protector, I personally would recommend putting on the HD screen protector as the main screen protector first and then using this privacy filter as an added security feature. I say that because it comes with 3 long strips of adhesive to attach to the sides of the screen to hold the privacy screen in place. I agree with previous reviews that you need to increase the brightness a little to compensate for the filter, but I didn't have to increase the brightness too much…

Does exactly what it's supposed to do, inevitable loss of quality

Had to order one for my boss at work, he flies all the time and is tired of people on the plane reading his screen : Easy to install, works like a dream and does not interfere with the camera or the ability to close the laptop completely. Does a pretty good job of making the screen difficult/impossible to read from the side. Cons: Everything looks a bit grainy after installation. You lose your viewing angle, but you should. With this screen on my computer, I no longer worry about my kids…

Make people think you're typing on a black screen.

I previously bought a 3M Gold privacy filter for an Apple 13" MacBook Pro with Retina display so after upgrading to the 15" MBPr I decided to buy from 3M again. does an equally good job of filtering my screen from prying eyes that would cling to someone sitting/standing a normal distance from me. The gold privacy filter I had previously had to be removed 2-3 times to get rid of dust, but that's probably because I didn't install the filter properly to reduce air pockets. Scraper to remove air…

Useless. I can't even joke that it's good enough for sunglasses.

The privacy filter, which only darkens the screen when viewed from an angle, is a bit misleading. Next to me and next to her are team members who can read my screen as I write this (sorry for the attached photo that looks blurry - I only have a phone and the autofocus doesn't work very well through the filter). does not matter anyway. But since it only comes with three strips, make sure you select 'matte' for the anti-reflective coating or 'glossy' for more clarity before applying the adhesive…

Pros
  • Regular price
Cons
  • Weak set

Outstanding Privacy Advocate

I travel a lot for work, often working in airport terminals, restaurants and hotel lobbies. Most of our work is confidential, which is why I received one of these screens to protect our customers' intellectual property. I couldn't choose better. I work with it all the time and keep forgetting it's there - so much so that when I need to show them something on my screen, colleagues in the office have to remind me that my screen is invisible to them. Even now, with my eyes about 30 inches from the

Make people think you're typing on a black screen.

I previously purchased a 3M Gold privacy filter for an Apple 13" MacBook Pro with Retina display so after upgrading to the 15" MBPr I decided to return to 3M to buy. For the most part, it filters my screen just as well from peeping eyes that would cling to someone sitting/standing a normal distance from me. .Unlike the gold privacy filter I had before, I had to remove this filter 2-3 times to remove dust, but that's probably because I installed the filter incorrectly to reduce air pockets.

Reflective surface, large notch on top.

I cut it to fit the HP Envy Sleekbook 6Z-1100 but cut it 3mm in length so I have 2mm gaps left and right. This is not 3M's fault. When installed with "3M FFMR15” embossed on the top edge, legibly facing me (rather than the other way around), the privacy filter is incredibly reflective, allowing almost any light source behind you to create glare on the screen. I installed the filter with adhesive strips but will probably switch to tabs for easy removal when using the laptop in bright light…

The Best 13 " MacBook Pro Privacy Filter

I never considered buying a privacy filter until we had to buy one for school to test online. I wanted it to fit my 13" MacBook perfectly Pro fits so I didn't have to cut or ruin anything. It fits perfectly and has some adhesive strips to fit the monitor. However, I'm afraid that putting it on and taking it off will reduce the stickiness since we don't have tests every day. I started using just duct tape as an alternative to attaching it to my computer. I originally tried leaving it on all the…
