The 3M gold & black privacy filters for widescreen 14" laptops worked quite well

I am glad I did the video review before seeing the price..it may have swayed it. We look live at both of the screens in this video review.
We have done a few privacy filters and 3M quality is always high. This comes in a simple flat package with each screen in it's own cardboard inner sleeve. Also included is some 3M blue sticky tape for adhering the screens to your monitors. The instruction booklet is in many languages and really did not need a lot of detail.
I anticipated that both would diminish the screen look and quality, mainly on the HD type displays. These are made for times when you need privacy. I would not recommend everyday usage if no one is there to peek at your screen. However, on flights, coffee shops and more than 60 degree angle is perfect to share with someone close and block prying eyes.

I show how both the black and gold look when in use on a Macbook Pro laptop. While I did not use the tabs, I had it laying flat so we could tilt it and see as the edges start to vanish as you increase the angle.
As for the price, I was slightly taken back. I looked later when posting this. I am shocked that it is this expensive The product does exactly as it states and it a good, thick quality material. As we expect from 3M. But the cost dropped it a star. I will still be using the gold one very often!!
