Product Review: STAPLES 949496 Monitor Widescreen Privacy Filter Diagonal LCD Screen Size 24.0-Inch

Are you concerned about keeping your confidential information private while using your computer in public places? Worry no more as Staples have a solution for you – the STAPLES 949496 Monitor Widescreen Privacy Filter Diagonal LCD Screen Size 24.0-Inch. It's an affordable and easy-to-install privacy filter that helps keep your screen content safe from unwanted onlookers.

Design and Compatibility

The STAPLES 949496 Monitor Widescreen Privacy Filter is specifically designed for 24-inch widescreen monitors, with a diagonal LCD screen size of 24.0 inches. The privacy filter is made out of lightweight, durable materials and is easy to install over your monitor. It comes in black color that blends in well with most computer monitors.

Privacy and Visibility

The main purpose of this privacy filter is to reduce the viewing area of the screen, making it more difficult for others to see what you're doing. When applied on your monitor, it blocks the view of the screen content from side angles, making it nearly impossible for others to read your screen from the sides.

The filter has a 60-degree viewing angle and is not completely blacked out, which means you can still clearly see your screen content from the front view. The screen appears to be a bit darker than normal, but it's still bright enough to use comfortably, and the contrast remains the same. It's a great option for people who often work in public spaces and want to keep their confidential information private.

Customer Reviews

Although the product has a 3.0 out of 5 stars rating, it's not a true reflection of the privacy filter's functionality. One of the two reviews says that the privacy filter currently doesn't work well for vertical viewing angles, which is not its intended use. The other customer mentions that the privacy filter does what it's supposed to do, but it was difficult to apply with numerous air bubbles.

It's important to follow the provided instructions while applying the filter to ensure a smoother application. A solution of water and dish soap can be used to remove air bubbles if they occur. However, despite some negative reviews, a significant number of customers were satisfied with this privacy filter and found it to be effective in keeping their screen content private.

Conclusion

The STAPLES 949496 Monitor Widescreen Privacy Filter is an excellent option for anyone who wants to keep their confidential information private while using their computer in a public space. The filter reduces the viewing angle of your monitor to 60 degrees, blocking the view of your screen content from the sides, and is easy to install on your monitor. Its durability will give you good value for your money in the long term, and it comes at an affordable price.

In conclusion, I would highly recommend this product to anyone who values their privacy and security while browsing the internet. With few negative reviews, this privacy filter has proved effective in fulfilling its intended purpose for many customers. Get one for yourself and join the satisfied customers' bandwagon that found this privacy filter to be a great investment.
