3M Gold Privacy Filter for 19" Standard Monitor (5:4) (GF190C4B)

The only bad thing I could come up with is that I waited way too long to purchase one. I LOVE my privacy filter. I was torn between which one to buy, the black or gold. My manager has a larger screen than I do and a black filter which works but I can still see her screen slightly from an angle. I mulled over which to get for a week or so plus the price was high for what you get. I finally decided on the gold and when I put it on for the first time I checked how it looked from angles and I was in love. I have a coworker almost directly behind me at an angle so he could see everything on my screen prior to me getting this filter. He's very nosy and now he can't see anything unless he stands directly behind me or I remove it to ask him a question and I want him to see my screen. I also have a supervisor that's nosy and when he first saw it said he can't see my screen. I was doing flips on the inside and wanted to let him know he's one of the reasons I wanted it. He still wants to see what's on my screen but he has to stand directly behind me to see and I have plenty of time to close or open another screen to protect my privacy. I'm not doing anything I shouldn't be doing on the job but I still like my privacy. Maybe I want to check my bank account on my break and now I have the privacy I need. It's worth every penny I paid for it and I wish I had purchased it about 6 months ago. I will purchase another one if or when needed the same day without hesitation. From my point of view, the gold privacy filter is the way to go. The golden glare you get from a side view is awesome. I love, love, love my filter. I can't praise this wonderful invention enough.

We have purchased a lot (a minimum of 25) of these filters for monitors in our office. I recently ordered 5 of these. In comparison to the ones that I have had in the past, the privacy doesn't seem to be as good as it used to be.Of greater concern, is the quality. As noted in the picture attached, the two layers that seem to be pressed together, have separated. I've only had these two weeks. I've also had to use four adhesion strips per filter, whereas in the past, I only had to use two of them on the sides, and it was sufficient. These ones do not seem to be as sticky. I'm using Dell monitors, just as before.Not sure if I should reach out to Amazon or 3M to replace the filter.

This is by far the best privacy filter I have used to date. and I have purchased a lot of them for our office. I almost always have highly sensitive information on my screens, and the regular filters can still allow people to see more than I would like. The gold ones make it almost virtually impossible unless you are seated directly in front of the screen. I really wish 3M would make these in more sizes than they currently offer, as I use three monitors. I do have a window right behind me and this protector puts off major reflection would could be bothersome to some people, but I am willing to overlook it in exchange for actual privacy.Please make in more size, 3M! Would really like these for 21, 23, and 24 inch screens. Will not use other brands, as 3M has excellent service and will send you replacement sticky tabs, which I find invaluable. Do not hesitate to purchase this filter if you are wanting privacy.

I have two monitors with a Gold Privacy Filter on each and it doesn't block as well as the black ones do but they work good enough for me.People standing right behind me or maybe a little to the side can still see my screen but if I have something confidential, I move over to my left screen where no one can see; where the black screens, you have to be right in the center of each monitor to see which has better privacy but also you can't see unless you are right in the center and eye level as well. Plus it makes everything look much darker and you can't really see the true colors where these Gold screens don't.I love these and I get so many compliments from people that pass by and notice the cool looking iridescent screens from the side. --I hope my photos help.

I had the 3M 17" gold filter/screen protector and was very happy with it. So when I got a 23" monitor I bought the matching item for my now larger screen. These gold filters are excellent! I have fairly low vision and I feel they actually make the letters and images on the screen sharper. However, with the wider screen the "privacy" part is lacking. Naturally, you'd expect the range of visibility to be larger than with the 17" screen, but when standing about 4 feet back from my monitor there's a range of about 3 feet either way in which the objects on my monitor can very clearly be seen. To summarize, this unit is excellent as a filter but not great for privacy protection when used with wide-screen monitors.. especially considering the high price.

The place I work at has open office policy. One can stand in one corner and see everyone's computer screen. This filter is great for giving privacy from certian angle. The reason it is not rated 5 is becuase my screen is still visible from wide angle. But it blocks most of the side angles. It has a nice hue from the side. I have had many people do a double take when they walk by me. Everyone thinks it is fancy due to Golden hue.Overall, I am satisfied with this filter. Another great product from 3M.

Aside from it being super expensive as compared to most I love the look and the filtering of this privacy filter. It fit my monitor perfectly. The cheaper one I purchased for my second monitor had to be cut down to size to fit the exact same model of monitor.

I was a bit unsure of the product when I started looking at the reviews. This turned out to be exactly what I wanted. The gold screen looks good, and does a great job keeping unwanted eyes off the screen. I wound up just overlaying the screen directly to my monitor without the sticky holders. It works great, and I would get this product again if I needed it.

The privacy filter is very good, but it looks like a mirror, so, in fact protects you form the shoulder surf, but it is not comfortable, because we see one’s face, clothes, and background lights. I don't like or recommend it. If you want to buy a privacy filter choose the non gold. People around me bought the standard one (PF17.0) and experienced no problems with reflections, besides it’s cheaper.

It has a wrinkle and it is uncomfortable when you work. if you have any light around it reflect it a lot, still good for a more private work, and glare is good

perfect

Perfect and glad I purchased this.

Il prodotto è veramente ben fatto e può essere utilizzato sia dal lato dorato che dal lato scuro a seconda che si desideri l'effetto riflesso oppure l'oscurazione del monitor. Non presenta problemi all'utilizzatore del monitor sul quale viene posto perchè ha un discreto angolo di visuale e porta via solo poca luminosità. In compenso chi è a fianco o sopra non riuscirà a vedere il contenuto. Con il lato che riflette inoltre vi accorgerete se qualcuno si è avvicinato. In realtà spesso desta curiosità e può capitare che vi chiedano spiegazioni su questa pellicola.Io ho comprato una pellicola sovradimensionata per dove l'ho applicato ma con un cutter ho potuto ritagliarlo senza difficoltà e senza che si rovinino i bordi.
