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

Bought this at a great (used) price on Revain.com. I hated the fact that people around me could see what I was typing and/or searching during breaks in the courtroom where I worked. It clouds your vision a little, but who cares because now I don't have to put up with lawyers asking me what a squire is. means (yes they asked) and what kind of dog am I looking for in the market. A used Revain product came with the tabs and double sided tape I needed to attach the filter to my monitor. They are…

This filter completely blacks out the monitor when viewed from any direction. I work in HR in the healthcare industry so all our information is confidential. This has created an inexpensive and effective way to protect our sensitive information. Ease of installation. Does not obstruct the view for a person working directly in front of the screen. The only annoying thing is that at a slight angle (especially on a 22" monitor) you sometimes don't see the "X" to close the window. But this filter…

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…

Soooo. On my first order the shipping cost was more than the filter even though I'm a Prime member and all the screens before receiving it showed free shipping. So good - cancel it; order a new one. Yay for the free shipping. Then it came and I immediately noticed one thing: it doesn't cover the entire screen. I measured very carefully before ordering and my screen is exactly 24 inches. The filter is just shy. Okay ok I don't often need the top of my screen for dimming so I used it. The last…

I bought a 23 inch privacy filter for work. I work as a receptionist at a car dealership and my desk is "outside". Obviously the point is to dim the screen, but since the monitor is so big the sides start to "black out" and I have to turn my head to see anything clearly on the sides of the screen. I'm glad I ordered this brand with a 60 degree elbow instead of the 3M offered by 3M for this reason. My only complaint is how the filter attaches to the screen. It is attached with 4 pieces of…

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…

Let me first say that this screen is perfect for my Acer laptop and I really like the matte finish. However, like most of you reading this, I bought it specifically for 'privacy' and the 'dimmed' screen idea sounded great! I honestly didn't expect it to look as black as the default image on the internet, but I REALLY expected better performance than this filter actually offers! Two things really let me down: 1) Very wide viewing angles. You have to look at the screen from a fairly steep angle…
